Java Constructors

A constructor in Java is a special method used to initialize objects, sharing the same name as the class and lacking a return type. There are two types of constructors: default constructors, which take no parameters, and parameterized constructors, which take parameters to initialize object attributes. Key points include that constructors can be overloaded and that Java provides a default constructor if none is defined.

Constructors in Core Java

What is a Constructor in Java?

A constructor is a special method used to initialize objects. It has the same name as the class and

does not have a return type.

Types of Constructors in Java:

1. Default Constructor (No parameters)

2. Parameterized Constructor (With parameters)

1. Default Constructor

Syntax:

class ClassName {

ClassName() {

// code to initialize object

Example:

class Car {

Car() {

System.out.println("Car is created");

public static void main(String[] args) {

Car myCar = new Car(); // Constructor is called here


}

Output:

Car is created

Explanation:

- Car() is the constructor.

- It is automatically called when the object myCar is created.

2. Parameterized Constructor

Syntax:

class ClassName {

ClassName(parameter1, parameter2, ...) {

// use parameters to initialize

Example:

class Student {

String name;

int age;

// Parameterized constructor

Student(String n, int a) {
name = n;

age = a;

void display() {

System.out.println("Name: " + name + ", Age: " + age);

public static void main(String[] args) {

Student s1 = new Student("Elisha", 21);

s1.display();

Output:

Name: Elisha, Age: 21

Explanation:

- Constructor Student(String n, int a) is used to set values while creating object s1.

Important Points:

- Constructor name must be same as class name.

- No return type, not even void.

- Called automatically when an object is created.

- Constructors can be overloaded.

- Java provides a default constructor if none is defined.
