An object is created from a class. In Java, the new keyword is used to create new objects. There are three steps when creating an object from a class − Declaration − A variable declaration with a variable name with an object type. Instantiation − The 'new' keyword is used to create the object. Initialization − The 'new' keyword is followed by a call to a constructor. This call initializes the new object. Following is an example of creating an object − Example Live Demo public class Puppy { public Puppy(String name) { ... Read More

No, a constructor can’t be made final. A final method cannot be overridden by any subclasses. As mentioned previously, the final modifier prevents a method from being modified in a subclass. The main intention of making a method final would be that the content of the method should not be changed by any outsider. But, in inheritance sub class inherits the members of a super class except constructors. In other words, constructors cannot be inherited in Java therefore, there is no need to write final before constructors. Therefore, java does not allow final keyword before a constructor. If you try ... Read More

No, constructors are not inherited in Java.

No, the constructor does not return any value. While declaring a constructor you will not have anything like a return type. In general, the Constructor is implicitly called at the time of instantiation. And it is not a method, its sole purpose is to initialize the instance variables.Read more about constructors: Java Constructors Example public class Sample{ public Sample(){ System.out.println("This is a constructor"); } public static void main(String args[]){ ...

No, you cannot have both this() and super() in a single constructor.

Constructors are similar to methods but, They do not have any return type. The name of the constructor is same as the name of the class. Every class has a constructor. If we do not explicitly write a constructor for a class, the Java compiler builds a default constructor for that class. Each time a new object is created, at least one constructor will be invoked. A class can have more than one constructor. this() and super() are used to call constructors explicitly. Where, using this() you can call the current class’s constructor and using super() you can ...

Java 8 introduces a new concept of default method implementation in interfaces. This capability is added for backward compatibility so that old interfaces can be used to leverage the lambda expression capability of Java 8. For example, ‘List’ or ‘Collection’ interfaces do not have ‘foreach’ method declaration. Thus, adding such method will simply break the collection framework implementations. Java 8 introduces default method so that List/Collection interface can have a default implementation of foreach method, and the class implementing these interfaces need not implement the same. Syntax public interface vehicle { default void print() { ... Read More

The class Component is the abstract base class for the non-menu user-interface controls of AWT. A component represents an object with graphical representation. The class Container is the superclass for the containers of AWT. The container object can contain other AWT components.

All instance methods in Java are virtual except, static methods and private methods.

The java.util.Locale class object represents a specific geographical, political, or cultural region. An operation that requires a Locale to perform its task is called locale-sensitive and uses the Locale to form information for the user. The locale is a mechanism for identifying objects, not a container for the objects themselves.
