Every class, including abstract classes, MUST have a constructor. The different types are:
a. Regular constructors
b. Overloaded constructors and
c. Private constructors
No. Java does not support copy constructor
Yes, you can have more than one constructor with a different set of parameters.
The constructor of a Java class is not an ordinary method. Its purpose is not to return any value. The purpose of the constructor is to instantiate the class which it does. Since, the purpose of a constructor is only to instantiate and initialize its class and not anything else, it does not have a return type. All it does is creates an object of that class.
When any constructor is deffined in your class, the java compiler create a default no argument constructor for you. This constructor only have an invocation to the super class constructor (" super( ) ").
All Java programs would have a constructor... public class Test { public Test(){ ... } ..... } This is a constructor. Even if you dont code the constructor Java would automatically place a default constructor for compilation.
Constructor is used to do something (written in constructor) immediately after object creation.
A Constructor in java cannot have a return type. It always creates and returns an object of the class for which it is the constructor. You cannot return a value from a constructor explicitly and if you try to do that, the compiler will give an error. The system knows that the purpose of the constructor is to create an object of the class and it will do the same irrespective of whether you declare a return type or not.
No. if you wish to create an object that you plan on using in a java program then the answer is NO. You cannot initialize an object of a Java class without calling the constructor.
No.
Java, unlike C++ does not support copy constructors.
NO, we cannot create a contructor for an interface in java.
Constructor is not an alternative to class. In Java, you create classes; the classes contain methods - including the constructor, which can be viewed as a special method. If you want to have a constructor, you need a class that surrounds it, so it's not one or the other.
