How does constructor work?

First line in any constructor has to be either super() or this() not both. If any constructor does not contain either of super() and this(), compiler adds super(). When any constructor is called before excuting the code of the constructor, if it founds this(), it will call another constructor else it will call super() which is the call for the constructor of super class, now again from the super class constructor it will call the super class constructor if available. This is continued until it reaches the top of the class hierarchy.

Basically, a constructor is a block of code that gets executed each time a particular instance of a class is created. So, say you've designed a class for working with a database of some sort. When you create an instance of that class, copies of all the variables and functions of that class get attached to the instance-object, and if one of the functions is a constructor function, it will be run as soon as the instance-object is created. This lets you automatically set up conditions for the instance (i.e. establishing connections to different databases or reading data from different tables, or etc.). Depending on the language you're using, classes may or may not automatically call the constructor function of a parent or super class (if such exists, and if you do not provide a constructor for the class in question).

Default constructor in java?

If you don't type a constructor into your class code, a default constructor will be automatically generated by the compiler. The default constructor is ALWAYS a no-arg constructor. (Obviously the compiler has no clue what all arguments you might want for your class. So it takes the safe way out with a no argument constructor) A no-arg constructor is not necessarily the default (i.e., compiler-supplied) constructor, although the default constructor is always a no-arg constructor. The default constructor is the one the compiler provides! While the default constructor is always a no-arg constructor, you're free to put in your own no-arg constructor.


What is an empty constructor?

What is the difference between implicit and explicit call of constructor in c plus plus?

An implicit constructor call will always call the default constructor, whereas explicit constructor calls allow to chose the best constructor and passing of arguments into the constructor.


When a object is passed to a function as argument why it is not generating an error if the parameterized constructor is defined and not the default constructor?

default constructor is used only when the programmer does not use a constructor to initialize objects. Once the programmer defines a constructor then the default constructor is no longer used


Can you call constructor?

What is use of constructor in java?

What is a default parameterized constructor?

Is there a sample program for constructor?

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.


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
