File 6 (Constractor in JAVA)

1. A constructor in Java is called when an object is created and is used to initialize the object. It must have the same name as the class and cannot have an explicit return type. 2. There are two types of constructors: default (no-arg) constructors that don't have parameters and provide default values, and parameterized constructors that can be used to provide different values to objects. 3. Constructors can be overloaded like methods by having different parameter lists. This allows creating multiple constructors to initialize objects in different ways.

Constructors in Java

In Java, a constructor is a block of codes similar to the method. It is called when an instance
of the class is created. At the time of calling constructor, memory for the object is allocated in
the memory. It is a special type of method which is used to initialize the object.
Rules for creating Java constructor
There are two rules defined for the constructor.
1. Constructor name must be the same as its class name
2. A Constructor must have no explicit return type
3. A Java constructor cannot be abstract, static, final, and synchronized

Types of Java constructors


There are two types of constructors in Java:
1. Default constructor (no-arg constructor)
2. Parameterized constructor

Java Default Constructor


A constructor is called "Default Constructor" when it doesn't have any parameter.
Example of default constructor
In this example, we are creating the no-arg constructor in the Bike class. It will be invoked at the
time of object creation.

//Java Program to create and call a default constructor
class Bike1{
//creating a default constructor
Bike1(){System.out.println("Bike is created");}
//main method
public static void main(String args[]){
//calling a default constructor
Bike1 b=new Bike1();
}
}
Q) What is the purpose of a default constructor?
The default constructor is used to provide the default values to the object like 0, null, etc.,
depending on the type.
Example of default constructor that displays the default values
class Student3{
int id;
String name;
//method to display the value of id and name
void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
public static void main(String args[]){
//creating objects
Student3 s1=new Student3();
Student3 s2=new Student3();
//displaying values of the object
s1.display();
s2.display();
}
}

Java Parameterized Constructor


A constructor which has a specific number of parameters is called a parameterized
constructor.
Why use the parameterized constructor?
The parameterized constructor is used to provide different values to distinct objects.
However, you can provide the same values also.
Example of parameterized constructor
In this example, we have created the constructor of Student class that have two parameters.
We can have any number of parameters in the constructor.
//Java Program to demonstrate the use of the parameterized constructor.
class Student4{
    int id;
    String name;
    //creating a parameterized constructor
    Student4(int i,String n){
    id = i;
    name = n;
    }
    //method to display the values
    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

    public static void main(String args[]){
    //creating objects and passing values
    Student4 s1 = new Student4(111,"Karan");
    Student4 s2 = new Student4(222,"Aryan");
    //calling method to display the values of object
    s1.display();
    s2.display();
   }
}
Constructor Overloading in Java
In Java, a constructor is just like a method but without return type. It can also be
overloaded like Java methods.
Constructor overloading in Java is a technique of having more than one constructor
with different parameter lists.
Example of Constructor Overloading
//Java program to overload constructors
class Student5{
    int id;
    String name;
    int age;
    //creating two arg constructor
    Student5(int i,String n){
    id = i;
    name = n;
    }
    //creating three arg constructor
    Student5(int i,String n,int a){
    id = i;
    name = n;
    age=a;
    }
    void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name+" "+age);}
    public static void main(String args[]){
    Student5 s1 = new Student5(111,"Karan");
    Student5 s2 = new Student5(222,"Aryan",25);
    s1.display();
    s2.display();
   }
}
