In
Java, a constructor is a block of codes similar to the
method. It is called when an instance of the class is created. At the time of calling constructor, memory for the object is allocated in the memory.
It is a special type of method which is used to initialize
the object instance var.
Every time an object is created using the new() keyword,
at least one constructor is called.
It calls a default constructor if there is no constructor
available in the class. In such case, Java compiler provides a default constructor by default.
There are two types of constructors in Java: no-arg
constructor, and parameterized constructor.
Note: It is called constructor because it constructs the
values at the time of object creation. It is not necessary to write a constructor for a class. It is because java compiler creates a default constructor if your class doesn't have any.
Rules for creating Java constructor
There are two rules defined for the constructor.
1. Constructor name must be the same as its class
name 2. A Constructor must have no explicit return type 3. A Java constructor cannot be abstract, static, final, and synchronized Note: We can use access modifiers while declaring a constructor. It controls the object creation. In other words, we can have private, protected, public or default constructor in Java.
