    14 Constructor

    Constructor in Java is a special type of method that initializes an object. There are two types of constructors: default (no-arg) constructors that provide default values, and parameterized constructors that provide custom values. Constructors must have the same name as their class and no explicit return type. Constructor overloading allows a class to have multiple constructors that differ in parameters. While Java does not have a copy constructor, the values of one object can be copied to another using a constructor or by directly assigning values.

    Constructor in Java

    Constructor in java is a special type of method that is used to initialize the object.

    Java constructor is invoked at the time of object creation. It constructs the values i.e. provides data for the
    object that is why it is known as constructor.

    Rules for creating java constructor

    There are basically two rules defined for the constructor.

    1. Constructor name must be same as its class name


    2. Constructor must have no explicit return type

    Types of java constructors

    There are two types of constructors:

    1. Default constructor (no-arg constructor)


    2. Parameterized constructor

    1. Java Default Constructor

    A constructor that has no parameter is known as default constructor.

    Syntax:

    <class_name>(){}

    Example:

    class Bike{

    Bike(){System.out.println("Bike is created");}

    public static void main(String args[]){

    Bike b=new Bike();

    What is the purpose of default constructor?

    Default constructor provides the default values to the object like 0, null etc. depending on the data type.

    class Student{

    int id;

    String name;

    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

    public static void main(String args[]){

    Student s1=new Student();

    Student s2=new Student();

    s1.display();

    s2.display();

    2. Java parameterized constructor

    A constructor that has parameters is known as parameterized constructor. Parameterized constructor is


    used to provide different values to the distinct objects.

    class Student{

    int id;

    String name;

    Student4(int i,String n){

    id = i;

    name = n;

    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

    public static void main(String args[]){

    Student s1 = new Student(1001,"Ajay");

    Student s2 = new Student(1002,"Vijay");

    s1.display(); s2.display(); }}

    Constructor Overloading in Java

    Constructor overloading is a technique in Java in which a class can have any number of constructors that
    differ in parameter lists. The compiler differentiates these constructors by taking into account the number
    of parameters in the list and their type.

    class Student{

    int id;

    String name;

    int age;

    Student(int i,String n){

    id = i;

    name = n;

    Student(int i,String n,int a){

    id = i;

    name = n;

    age=a;

    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name+" "+age);}

    public static void main(String args[]){

    Student s1 = new Student(1001,"Ajay");

    Student s2 = new Student(1002,"Vijay",25);

    s1.display();

    s2.display();

    Difference between constructor and method in java

    There are many differences between constructors and methods. They are given below

    Java Copy Constructor

    There is no copy constructor in java. But, we can copy the values of one object to another like copy
    constructor in C++.

    There are many ways to copy the values of one object into another in java. They are:

     By constructor
     By assigning the values of one object into another

    By constructor

    class Student{

    int id;

    String name;

    Student(int i,String n){

    id = i;

    name = n;

    Student(Student s){

    id = s.id;

    name =s.name;

    }
    4
    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

    public static void main(String args[]){

    Student s1 = new Student(1001,"Kunal");

    Student s2 = new Student(s1); s1.display(); s2.display(); } }

    By assigning the values of one object into another

    class Student{

    int id;

    String name;

    Student(int i,String n){

    id = i;

    name = n;

    Student(){}

    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

    public static void main(String args[]){

    Student s1 = new Student7(1001,"Kunal");

    Student s2 = new Student();

    s2.id=s1.id;

    s2.name=s1.name;

    s1.display();

    s2.display();
