Constructors

Constructors
 In Java, constructor is a block of codes similar to method. It
is called when an instance of object is created and memory is
allocated for the object.
 It is a special type of method which is used to initialize the
object.
 It is called constructor because it constructs the values at the
time of object creation.
 It is not necessary to write a constructor for a class. It is
because java compiler creates a default constructor if your
class doesn't have any.
Constructor
 Rules
 Constructor name must be same as its class name
 Constructor must have no explicit return type
 Types of java constructors
 Default constructor (no-arg constructor)
 Parameterized constructor
Default constructor
class Bike1{
Bike1(){System.out.println("Bike is created");}
public static void main(String args[]){
Bike1 b=new Bike1();
}
}
 Parameterized constructor
class Student{ void display(){
int id; String name; int age; System.out.println(id+" "+name+" "+age);
Student(int i,String n){ }
id = i;
name = n; public static void main(String args[]){
} Student s1 = new Student(111,"Karan");
Student(int i,String n,int a){ Student s2 = new Student(222,"Aryan",25);
id = i; s1.display();
name = n; s2.display();
age=a; }
} }
