3. Constructors
Constructors are special functions in classes automatically invoked during object creation to initialize objects. They can be parameterized or non-parameterized, allowing flexibility in initializing object properties. Constructor overloading enables defining multiple constructors in a class with different parameter specifications, enhancing code clarity and maintenance.

What we have learnt
- A constructor is a special function that initializes an object when it is created.
- Constructors share the same name as the class and do not have a return type.
- Different types of constructors (default, parameterized, and overloaded) provide various means to initialize object properties.
Key Concepts
- -- Constructor
- A special function in a class that is invoked at the creation of an object to initialize its properties.
- -- Default Constructor
- A constructor that does not take any parameters and provides default values.
- -- Parameterized Constructor
- A constructor that takes parameters to initialize an object with specific values.
- -- Constructor Overloading
- The ability to have multiple constructors in a class with different parameter lists to enable flexibility.
