How do I make my count() method prettier?
TIA fh

public class ObjectCounter {

 Object a;
 Object b;

 public ObjectCounter() {
   Object a = null;
   Object b = null;
 }

 public int count() {
   if(a == null && b == null)
     return 0;
   else if(a != null && b !== null)
     return 2;
   else
     return 1;
 }

 public Object getObjectA() {
   return a;
 }

 public Object getObjectB() {
   return b;
 }

 public void setObjectA(Object a) {
   this.a = a;
 }

 public void setObjectB(Object b) {
   this.b = b;
 }
}
