Constructor in Java

A constructor in Java is a special member used to initialize an object's state upon creation, sharing the same name as the class and lacking a return type. There are three types of constructors: Default Constructor (no parameters), Parameterized Constructor (with parameters), and Copy Constructor (copies data from another object). Each type serves a specific purpose in setting default or user-defined values for an object's attributes.

Constructor In Java

A constructor in Java is a special member that is called when an object is created. It


initializes the new object’s state. It is used to set default or user-defined values for the
object's attributes

• A constructor has the same name as the class.


• It does not have a return type, not even void.
• It can accept parameters to initialize object properties.

Types of Constructors in Java


1. Default Constructor
2. Parameterized Constructor
3. Copy Constructor
Default Constructor :
A default constructor has no parameters. It’s used to assign default values to an object.
If no constructor is explicitly defined, Java provides a default constructor.
Syntax:
MyClass() {
super();
}

Parameterised Constructor :
A constructor that has parameters is known as parameterized constructor. If we want
to initialize fields of the class with our own values, then use a parameterized
constructor.
Syntax :
class ClassName {
dataType variableName;
public ClassName(dataType parameter1, dataType parameter2, ...) {
[Link] = parameter1;
}
}
Copy Constructor :
Unlike other constructors copy constructor is passed with another object which copies
the data available from the passed object to the newly created object.
Syntax :
public class ClassName {
private int field1;
private String field2;
public ClassName(int f1, String f2) {
this.field1 = f1;
this.field2 = f2;
}
public ClassName(ClassName original) {
this.field1 = original.field1;
this.field2 = original.field2;
}
}
