Where does it say that ?

I suggest you buy a very basic book, or if you have one, read it. If you're taking a class, go and talk to the teacher.

This creates an OrderResponse, which is then returned. This method right now is useless. Please tell me that you're not asking a question about paid work. I assume this is a class, which is why you are asking such a basic question, however I don't see how a class could give you this code and ask you to do this task, and I can see how a job would.

Anyhow, populating an object means setting it's values. The method you have now is a waste of time, I assume it is supposed to fill values in the OrderResponse object, using values in the Order object. If this code was well written, the OrderResponse object would have a constructor that took an Order, and populated itself.
