Java Program to Call One Constructor from another



In this article, we will understand how to call one constructor from another. The keyword 'this()' is used to invoke a constructor.

Below is a demonstration of the same. We will displaying sum and product of two numbers while using this() −

Input

Suppose our input is −

The numbers are defined as 12 and 30

Output

The desired output would be −

The sum is: 42
The product is: 360

Algorithm

Step 1 - START
Step 2 - Declare an integer value namely my_sum
Step 3 - In the main class, we define a ‘this’ reference to the numbers which would be used as input.
Step 4 - This will call the ‘this’ constructor that invokes the current class constructor.
Step 5 - Another ‘display’ function is used to display the sum.
Step 6 - An object of the class is created, and the functions are invoked to display the result

Example 1

Here, the sum of two numbers is being computed.

Open Compiler
public class Main { int my_sum; Main() { this(12, 30); } Main(int my_input_1, int my_input_2) { System.out.println("The numbers are defined as " +my_input_1 +" and " +my_input_2); this.my_sum = my_input_1 + my_input_2; } void display() { System.out.println("The sum is: " + my_sum); } public static void main(String[] args) { Main my_object = new Main(); my_object.display(); } }

Output

The numbers are defined as 12 and 30
The sum is: 42

Example 2

Here, the product of two numbers is being computed.

Open Compiler
public class Main { int my_product; Main() { this(12, 30); } Main(int my_input_1, int my_input_2) { System.out.println("The numbers are defined as " +my_input_1 +" and " +my_input_2); this.my_product = my_input_1 * my_input_2; } void display() { System.out.println("The product of the two values is: " + my_product); } public static void main(String[] args) { Main my_object = new Main(); my_object.display(); } }

Output

The numbers are defined as 12 and 30
The product of the two values is: 360
