What else can I help you with?
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( ) ").
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 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.
Why do you need a constructor as a class member?
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.
How many kinds of constructor in java?
Java has 2 types of constructors based on parameters passed:Default or parameter-less constructor: A constructor which does not accept any arguments.Parametrized constructor: A constructor which accepts one or more arguments.Similarly based on Access modifier also we have:Public constructor - Class can be instantiated by anyonePrivate constructor - Class cannot be instantiated by anyoneProtected constructor - Class can be instantiated only by sub classes
Which situation constructor is used?
Constructor is necessary when you are about to use instance of a class.
What happens if a class defines constructor but not one with no argument?
Nothing Happens. Actually such a constructor is called a Default Constructor. Even if we do not write a constructor for a class, Java would automatically place a default constructor inside the class. Ex: Public class Test { public String getName(){ return "Hi"; } } Public class TestEx { public static void main(String[] args){ Test obj = new Test(); System.out.println(obj.getName()); } } Here we were able to instantiate an object of class Test even though we did not define a constructor for that class. This is because Java automatically places a default constructor for the 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(); } }
Static can be used in front of a constructor?
No. Static elements belong to the class, and the constructor belongs to the object (which is an instance of a class).
What is a constructor and its mandatory to use constructor in a class?
A constructor is a method that is invoked when an object is created. As to being mandatory, that really depends on the programming language; in the case of Java, each class must have a constructor, however, in many cases Java will automatically provide a default constructor, so you don't really need to program it.
Can abstract class have constructors?
A constructor of a class in invoked when a object of that class is created. As an abstract class can't have an object, so we can't create a constructor of the abstract class. But we can create a constructor of a concrete subclass of that abstract class and we have to pass the object of that concrete subclass to the abstract class.
Why constructor in Java doesn't have any return type?
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.
