Constructors
What is a Constructor?

• A constructor in Java is similar to a method that is invoked


when an object of the class is created.
• Unlike Java methods, a constructor has the same name as
that of the class and does not have any return type. For
example,
Types of Constructor

• In Java, constructors can be divided into 3 types:


• No-Arg Constructor
• Parameterized Constructor
• Default Constructor
• 1. Java No-Arg Constructors
• Similar to methods, a Java constructor may or may not
have any parameters (arguments).
• If a constructor does not accept any parameters, it is
known as a no-argument constructor. For example,
2. Java Parameterized Constructor

• A Java constructor can also accept one or more


parameters. Such constructors are known as
parameterized constructors (constructor with parameters).
3. Java Default Constructor

• If we do not create any constructor, the Java compiler


automatically create a no-arg constructor during the
execution of the program. This constructor is called
default constructor.
• Here, we haven't created any constructors. Hence, the Java
compiler automatically creates the default constructor.
• The default constructor initializes any uninitialized instance
variables with default values.
Important Notes on Java Constructors

• Constructors are invoked implicitly when you instantiate objects.


• The two rules for creating a constructor are:
• The name of the constructor should be the same as the class.
• A Java constructor must not have a return type.
• If a class doesn't have a constructor, the Java compiler automatically creates a default constructor during run-
time. The default constructor initializes instance variables with default values. For example, the int variable will
be initialized to 0
• Constructor types:
• No-Arg Constructor - a constructor that does not accept any arguments
• Parameterized constructor - a constructor that accepts arguments
• Default Constructor - a constructor that is automatically created by the Java compiler if it is not explicitly defined.
• A constructor cannot be abstract or static or final.
• A constructor can be overloaded but can not be overridden.
Constructors Overloading in Java

• Similar to Java method overloading, we can also create two


or more constructors with different parameters. This is
called constructors overloading.
• we have two constructors: Main() and Main(String
language). Here, both the constructor initialize the value
of the variable language with different values.

• Based on the parameter passed during object creation,


different constructors are called and different values are
assigned.
