Study Notes
Constructors
- A constructor is used when creating an object of a class using the
new
keyword. - A constructor performs operations required to initialize the class before methods are invoked or fields are accessed.
- Constructors are never inherited.
- Constructor declarations use the class name and have no return type.
- If no constructors are included in a class, Java provides a default constructor, which is a constructor with an empty parameter list and body.
- The default constructor is also known as a no-argument constructor.
Constructor Overloading
- Constructor overloading happens when constructors have different type parameters.
- Constructor chaining is when a constructor calls another constructor with a greater number of arguments; it is done using the
this
keyword, which must be the first statement in the constructor.
