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
C++ permits us to achieve this objects bt passing argument to the constructor function when the object are created . The constructor that can take arguments are called parametrized constructors Example:- class abc { int m,n; public: abc(int x,int y); //paramererise constructor ................ ................. }; abc::abc(int x,int y) { m=x;n=y; }
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.
A constructor differs from a normal member function in three ways:A constructor never returns a result. The constructor's declaration reflects this by not even declaring the function as "void." The common design hypothesis is that a well-designed constructor cannot fail, other than maybe in an irrecoverable way (such as a fatal running out of memory).A constructor is never called explicitly except with the new operator.Constructors impose further restrictions. For example, they cannot be declared abstract or virtual, and may have visibility requirements. The common design practise is that at least the default constructor is declared public.
Constructor overloading, just like any function's overloading, is where more than one configuration of parameters exists for the function. Based on the number and type of the parameters, different versions of the function can be resolved by the linker. This is typically used in the constructor as the default constructor (no parameters), the copy constructor (one reference parameter of the same type as the class), and the conversion constructor (any other combination of parameters).
For every class an empty constructor will be defined automatically by default unless you provide a constructor definition manually. Constructor in a class can be used to initialize variables or perfrom some basic functionallity whenever an object is created.
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( ) ").
A constructor is a function in C which has the same name of the class. The constructor can be used to initialize some function.
A constructor is called when a new object is created.
C++ permits us to achieve this objects bt passing argument to the constructor function when the object are created . The constructor that can take arguments are called parametrized constructors Example:- class abc { int m,n; public: abc(int x,int y); //paramererise constructor ................ ................. }; abc::abc(int x,int y) { m=x;n=y; }
A constructor is a special member function which have same name as the class name.`

There is no such thing as a constructor function in C++ (constructors have no return value, not even void, and cannot be called like regular functions). Constructors are invoked rather than called directly, either by declaring a static variable of the class type, or via the C++ new operator.
Overloading a function simply means providing the same function name with different argument types. Class constructors are no different. In fact, even if you declare no constructors in a class, there will be two compiler-generated constructor overloads provided for you: a default constructor; and a copy constructor. If you declare any other constructors, the compiler-generated default constructor will no longer be generated. You must declare your own default constructor if you require one. The copy constructor is always generated, however the default implementation only performs a member-wise copy of the class members. If your class contains a pointer to allocated memory you must provide your own copy constructor to perform a deep-copy of those pointers, so each instances "owns" its own copy of the memory.
You can have any number of constructors for a class. All we need to do is implement constructor overloading. Ex: let us say we want to create multiple constructor for a class Test Public class Test { Public Test() { //code } Public Test(int vals) { //code } Public Test(String val) { //code } }
