Python Constructors

1. Default Constructor (No Parameters)


This constructor does not take any parameters.

class Animal:
def __init__(self):
print("An Animal is created!")

a1 = Animal()

2. Parameterized Constructor
A constructor that takes arguments.

class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, model):
self.brand = brand
self.model = model
c1 = Car("Toyota", "Corolla")
print(c1.brand, c1.model) # Toyota Corolla

3. Constructor With Default Values


Setting default values for constructor parameters.

class Employee:
def __init__(self, name="Unknown", salary=3000):
self.name = name
self.salary = salary

e1 = Employee()
e2 = Employee("John", 5000)
print(e1.name, e1.salary) # Unknown 3000
print(e2.name, e2.salary) # John 5000

4. Constructor With Validation


Adding validation inside the constructor.
class Student:
def __init__(self, name, age):
if age < 0:
raise ValueError("Age cannot be negative!")
self.name = name
self.age = age

s1 = Student("Alice", 20)

5. Constructor in Inheritance
Using a parent class constructor in a subclass.

class Animal:
def __init__(self, species):
self.species = species

class Dog(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, breed):
super().__init__("Dog")
self.name = name
self.breed = breed
d1 = Dog("Buddy", "Golden Retriever")
print(d1.species, d1.name, d1.breed)
