Hi, True, I see similar names in JDK Socket library too. However if the function is not returning any thing, we see this naming is quite confusing with void return type. Take a similar example of HashMap where put and remove does return the object beeing put and added. Few inconsistancies..
If the name was doConnect() or makeConnection() could convey that it need not return any thing. However just by method name connect(), once could easily expect it to return something. My view here is coming by understanding of connect() is closer to thinking it as getConnection() method.
