Yes, you can. Making a constructor private ensures that no other class can instantiate that class you just created with a private constructor. It is usually used in Singleton Patterns.
Yes, but that means you can't define an instance of the class without arguments to new.

no we cannot initialize a constructor in private in order to call a constructor from outside of a class it must be a public member.in order to create an object we should call the constructor .so only private members can implement outside of the class.
When a constructor is not define in java then the instance used in class is not optimised the value and therefore some times it generates some garbage value. By the way , When we not define a constructor then generally it not distrub the execution of the program.
no you can have a class with no public methods and even with a a private constructor public class Example { //constructor private Example(){ } }
question i understand not
jacks mums fit!
Yes, you can declare and define the constructor within a class. A constructor is a special member function of a class that is automatically called when an object of the class is created. It is used to initialize the object's data members. The constructor can be declared and defined within the class definition or can be defined outside the class definition using the scope resolution operator (::).
Constructor is a special block of code similar to the method that is used to initialize the state of objects. If you do not define a constructor in a class, Java compiler automatically put a default constructor in the class.
I dont think we can have Protected Constructors but yes we can have Private constructors. We can declare the constructor as Private to ensure that no other class can instantiate it. We use this in the singleton design pattern
A constructor is not a mandatory member that we need to code specifically for a class. While creating a class, even if we miss out coding the constructor, Java would create a default constructor all by itself. The constructor is usually the place where we initialize things that are required by the class. Hence it is a good practice to code the constructor for our class. Tip: If you do not want anyone to instantiate your class, you can declare the constructor as private. In that way no other class can instantiate your class.
Yes. However, like any other private member, a private constructor can only be accessed by the class itself (typically via a static member function) or by one of its friends. There are very few cases where private constructors are appropriate, one of the most common being the need to suppress the compiler-generated copy construction of a base class. However, since C++11, suppressed constructors can simply be deleted, thus making error messages much more meaningful to users of your class. For example, instead of the following: class A { public: A (); // default constructor private: A (const A&); // suppress copy constructor (can still be invoked by the class and its friends) // ... }; You'd now use the following: class A { public: A (); // default constructor A (const A&) =delete; // suppress copy constructor (cannot be invoked at all) // ... };
