What are Constructors?
A constructor is a special method in a class.
It initializes the object’s attributes when the object is created.
In Python, constructors are defined using the __init__ method.

Key Features:
1. Automatically called when an object is created.
2. Used to set up initial values for attributes.

Types of Constructors:
Default Constructor
Parameterized Constructor

Default Constructor
A default constructor does not accept arguments (apart from
self).
It initializes attributes with predefined values.

When to Use:
When all objects of a class should have the same default
values.

Parameterized Constructor
A parameterized constructor takes arguments to set custom
attribute values during object creation.

When to Use:
When attributes need to vary between different objects.
