There is no such thing as 'the general syntax of a default constructor'. A default constructor is one that is generated by the compiler if you don't specify any constructors at all. Semantically speaking, it is public and takes no arguments, but this is not 'syntax'.

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.


How is the default constructor equivalent to a constructor having default arguments?

Any constructor that can be invoked without explicitly passing any arguments is a default constructor. Note that there can be only one default constructor so there can only be one constructor where all arguments have default values or one constructor that has no arguments, but not both. A constructor where all arguments have default values is a useful means of combining two or more constructors into a single default constructor, thus reducing verbosity and code duplication.


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


What is an empty constructor?

An empty constructor takes no arguments and calls the default constructor


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(); } }

What is a default parameterized constructor?

There is no such thing as a default parameterized constructor. The default constructor is always the 'no-arg' constructor and does not take any parameters or arguments as input

What is the difference between default constructor and parameterized constructor?

A default constructor is one that has no parameters (C++ also calls constructors with all default parameters a default constructor), while a parameterized constructor is one that has at least one parameter without a default value. Default constructors can be provided by the compiler if no other constructors are defined for that class or any class the class inherits from, while parameterized constructors must always be defined by the developer.


What is constructor and discuss different types of constructor with syntax and examples?

A constructor is a class method which initialises an object of the class at the point of instantiation. Specifically, it initialises the base classes (if any) and the non-static data members (if any). Constructors also play a central role in the resource acquisition is initialisation (RAII) paradigm. Objects which have a natural default value have a default constructor. The default constructor is a constructor that has no arguments or where all arguments have default values. Objects which can be copied have a copy constructor. The copy constructor has just one non-default argument, a const l-value reference of the same type as the class. Objects which can be moved have a move constructor. The move constructor has just one non-default argument, a modifiable r-value reference of the same type as the class. All other constructors that have only one argument of a type other than the class itself are known as conversion constructors. Constructors can also have more than one argument. No specific name is given to these constructors. Other than physical memory constraints, there is no limit to the number of constructors that may be defined for a class.


Why Java always provides a default constructor to class when you use another constructor default constructor remove?

Classes in Java inherit constructors from their parent classes. If you don't explicitly define a parent class, then Object is used, which has only the default empty constructor. That "default" constructor is only there when defined by the parent class, so classes which do not have a no-argument constructor will not allow subclasses to automatically use it. This is implemented this way because of the special nature of constructors. Java could not always provide a default constructor because it could not guarantee that all class members would be properly created or initialized.


What is first call in struts2 default constructor or validate method?

Default Constructor will be called first . If you override Validate method , then validate method will be called .


Do you have to declare a constructor every time you create a class?

Yes, If you don't a default constructor will be created for you.
