Constructors in Java 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. 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 defned 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, fnal, and synchronized
Types of Java constructors There are two
types of constructors in Java: 1. Default
constructor (no-arg constructor) 2.
Parameterized constructorJava Default
Constructor A constructor is called
"Default Constructor" when it doesn't have
any parameter. Syntax of default
constructor: <class_name>(){} Example of
default constructor In this example, we are
creating the no-arg constructor in the Bike
class. It will be invoked at the time of object
creation. //Java Program to create and call
a default constructor class Bike1{
//creating a default constructor Bike1()
{System.out.println("Bike is
created");} //main method public static
void main(String args[]){ //calling a default
constructor Bike1 b=new Bike1(); } }
Output: Bike is created Q) What is the
purpose of a default constructor? The
default constructor is used to provide the
default values to the object like 0, null, etc.,
depending on the type. Example of default
constructor that displays the default
values //Let us see another example of
default constructor //which displays the
default values class Student3{ int id;
String name; //method to display the value
of id and name void display()
{System.out.println(id+" "+name);} public
static void main(String args[]){ //creating
objects Student3 s1=new Student3();
Student3 s2=new Student3(); //displaying
values of the object s1.display();
s2.display(); } } Output: 0 null 0 null
Explanation:In the above class,you are not
creating any constructor so compiler
provides you a default constructor. Here 0
and null values are provided by default
constructor. Java Parameterized
Constructor A constructor which has a
specifc number of parameters is called a
parameterized constructor. Why use the
parameterized constructor? The
parameterized constructor is used to
provide diferent values to distinct objects.
However, you can provide the same values
also.Example of parameterized constructor
In this example, we have created the
constructor of Student class that have two
parameters. We can have any number of
parameters in the constructor. //Java
Program to demonstrate the use of the
parameterized constructor. class Student4{
int id; String name; //creating a
parameterized constructor Student4(int
i,String n){ id = i; name =
n; } //method to display the values
void display()
{ System.out.println(id+" "+name); }
public static void main(String args[]){
//creating objects and passing values
Student4 s1 = new Student4(111,"Karan");
Student4 s2 = new Student4(222,"Aryan");
//calling method to display the values of
object s1.display(); s2.display(); } }
Output: 111 Karan 222 Aryan
