1. The constructor has to have the same name as the classthat it is in.

2. It does not have a return type. If it has a return type, then it is a method (even though it is legal, it's not ideal to have name a method the same name as the class).

3. It can use any access modifier (this includes private).

4. The default constructor does not take arguments.

5. The first statement in a constructor has to have a super() type or this() type. If this is not written, by default, it's super(). It's illegal to have it in any other line other than the first line.

6. Constructors can only access static variables.

7. Only constructors have access to another constructor.

Remember that interfaces do not have a constructor.
