Constructors have the same identifier as that of the class, so if the name of your class is Book then your constructor must also be named Book. Constructors have no return type, not even void.

Does java class must have public method?

no you can have a class with no public methods and even with a a private constructor public class Example { //constructor private Example(){ } }


What is concession constructor?

Constructors are basically used to evoke methods of a class creating its object..and as far as i know there is no constructor called concession constructor..


What is the purpose of constructor in object oriented programming?

A constructor in a class is one of the first pieces of code to be executed when you instantiate a class. The purpose of constructors is to have code that initialize the class and prepare the variables that may be required by the class...


In java how the class containing main is executed with out creating an object?

You may know that static methods in Java are executed even before the constructor of that class are called. Similarly, since the main method is static it gets executed first even before the others methods of the class are called. Since it is being called before the constructor, logically speaking you cannot have objects of that class.


How do you get a default constructor?

The default constructor is an empty (only call the super constructor) with no parameters constructor inserted by the java compiler when you don't define a constructor in your class. If you write something like this: public class NoConstructorClass{ //no constructor goes here } Then you get something like this: public class NoConstructorClass{ public NoConstructorClass(){ // Default constructor that you didn't write super(); } }

Why constructor rather than classes 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.


What happens when no constructor function is declared in a class - in Java?

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( ) ").

How do we invoke a constructor?

In Java, objects are constructed. Every time you make a new object, at least one constructor is invoked. Every class has a constructor, although if you don't create one explicitly, the compiler will build one for you. Ex: class Test { public Test() { } // this is Test's constructor public void Test() { } // this is a badly named, // but legal, method } If you see the example above, you would have realized that the constructor looks a lot like methods. Below are the main distinguishing factors between the constructor and normal methods: 1. The Constructor's name is exactly the same as the name of the class 2. They do not have a return type (Please remember this. A Constructor cannot have a return type as part of the code) 3. Constructors cannot be static, abstract or final

Why base class constructor is first invoked in subclass constructor?

The base class constructor is invoked first when a subclass is instantiated, because the base class must be viable and consistent before the subclass constructor is fired.


How do you get a default constructor?

The default constructor is an empty (only call the super constructor) with no parameters constructor inserted by the java compiler when you don't define a constructor in your class. If you write something like this: public class NoConstructorClass{ //no constructor goes here } Then you get something like this: public class NoConstructorClass{ public NoConstructorClass(){ // Default constructor that you didn't write super(); } }


How can you recognize a constructor in a class?

A class's constructor will have the same name of the class and no return type (not even void): class Example(){ Example() {printf("This is the constructor\n");} ~Example(){printf("This is the destructor\n");} };


How do you call an abstract class from main method?

An abstract class cannot have a constructor and hence you cannot invoke the constructor of the class - i.e., you can instantiate an abstract class and hence you cannot call the constructor of an abstract class.


What are the properties of class in c plus plus?

A constructor is not a function. A function is a type, as specified by its return type, and must return a value of that type unless the type is void. A constructor does not return anything, not even void. The purpose of a constructor is to both allocate and initialise memory for an object of the type being constructed. If a valid object cannot be constructed for any reason, the constructor must throw an exception. If the object's class has no data members (attributes), the class does not require a constructor. This is typically the case for most abstract data types and base classes which are used purely as interfaces. Constructors differ from functions in that all constructors have an initialisation section that is used specifically to initialise non-static data members. The body of the constructor is rarely used except to perform initialisations that cannot be more easily performed by the initialisation section. A class may have more than one constructor to provide alternative methods of construction based upon the number and type of arguments supplied (if any). When no arguments are required or all arguments have default values then the constructor is known as the default constructor. If the constructor has only one argument the constructor is known as a conversion constructor (because the argument is converted to an object of the class). However, if the constructor argument is a constant reference to an object of the same class, then it is known as a copy constructor, and when the constructor argument is an rvalue reference, it is known as a move constructor. If copy and/or move constructors are provided for a class, the equivalent assignment operators should also be provided for that class. All other constructors are known as user-defined constructors.
