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.
