    Java - Constructors: Syntax

    Uploaded by

    Constructors initialize objects when they are created and have the same name as the class. They can be used to initialize instance variables or perform other startup procedures. All classes have a default constructor but defining your own replaces it. Constructors can be no-argument, initializing variables with fixed values, or parameterized, accepting values to initialize variables.

    A constructor initializes an object when it is created. It has the same name as its
    class and is syntactically similar to a method. However, constructors have no
    explicit return type.
    Typically, you will use a constructor to give initial values to the instance
    variables defined by the class, or to perform any other start-up procedures
    required to create a fully formed object.
    All classes have constructors, whether you define one or not, because Java
    automatically provides a default constructor that initializes all member variables
    to zero. However, once you define your own constructor, the default constructor
    is no longer used.

    Syntax
    Following is the syntax of a constructor −
    class ClassName {
    ClassName() {
    }
    }

    Java allows two types of constructors namely −

     No argument Constructors
     Parameterized Constructors

    No argument Constructors
    As the name specifies the no argument constructors of Java does not accept
    any parameters instead, using these constructors the instance variables of a
    method will be initialized with fixed values for all objects.

    Example
    Public class MyClass {
    Int num;
    MyClass() {
    num = 100;
    }
    }

    You would call constructor to initialize objects as follows


    public class ConsDemo {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    MyClass t1 = new MyClass();
    MyClass t2 = new MyClass();
    System.out.println(t1.num + " " + t2.num);
    }
    }

    This would produce the following result


    100 100

    Parameterized Constructors
    Most often, you will need a constructor that accepts one or more parameters.
    Parameters are added to a constructor in the same way that they are added to a
    method, just declare them inside the parentheses after the constructor's name.

    Example
    Here is a simple example that uses a constructor −
    // A simple constructor.
    class MyClass {
    int x;

    // Following is the constructor


    MyClass(int i ) {
    x = i;
    }
    }
