A factory is a way of organizing certain things based on a certain need.

to my knowledge it`s a well defined pattern to create objects.

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 

class Vehicle { 
public: 
    virtual void printVehicle() = 0; 
    static Vehicle* Create(VehicleType type); 
}; 
class TwoWheeler : public Vehicle { 
public: 
    void printVehicle() { 
        cout << "I am two wheeler" << endl; 
    } 
}; 

  
Vehicle* Vehicle::Create() { 
        return new TwoWheeler(); 
} 
  
// Client class 
class Client { 
public: 
  
   
    Client() 
    { 
        
    } 

    ~Client() { 
        if (pVehicle) { 
            delete[] pVehicle; 
            pVehicle = NULL; 
        } 
    } 
    void BuildVehicle()
    {
     pVehicle = Vehicle::Create(); 
    }
    Vehicle* getVehicle()  { 
        return pVehicle; 
    } 
  
private: 
    Vehicle *pVehicle; 
}; 
  
 
int main() { 
    Client *pClient = new Client(); 
    pClient->BuildVechicle();
    Vehicle * pVehicle = pClient->getVehicle(); 
    pVehicle->printVehicle(); 
    return 0; 
}

That is not really about a Factory, just about creating objects

So yes in that context this would be exactly the forum to ask that question.
