Understanding Java Constructors

A constructor in Java is a special method used to initialize objects when a class is instantiated. It can set initial values for object attributes, and can also take parameters to initialize these attributes. Examples illustrate both a default constructor and a parameterized constructor that assigns values to class attributes.

Java Constructors

A constructor in Java is a special method that is used to initialize objects. The


constructor is called when an object of a class is created. It can be used to set
initial values for object attributes:

Example
Create a constructor:

// Create a Main class

public class Main {

int x; // Create a class attribute

// Create a class constructor for the Main class

public Main() {

x = 5; // Set the initial value for the class attribute x

public static void main(String[] args) {

Main myObj = new Main(); // Create an object of class Main


(This will call the constructor)

[Link](myObj.x); // Print the value of x

// Outputs 5
Constructor Parameters
Constructors can also take parameters, which is used to initialize
attributes.

The following example adds an int y parameter to the constructor.


Inside the constructor we set x to y (x=y). When we call the constructor,
we pass a parameter to the constructor (5), which will set the value of x
to 5:

Example
public class Main {

int x;

public Main(int y) {

x = y;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Main myObj = new Main(5);

[Link](myObj.x);

// Outputs 5
