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.

    Types Of Constructors

    This section explains the different types of constructors in classes, including default constructors, parameterized constructors, and constructor overloading.

  • 3.3.1

    Default Constructor

    A default constructor initializes objects without requiring parameters.

  • 3.3.2

    Parameterized Constructor

    A parameterized constructor allows for the customization of an object's initialization by accepting parameters.

  • 3.3.3

    Constructor Overloading

    Constructor overloading allows a class to have multiple constructors with different parameters, providing flexibility in object creation.

  • 3.4

    Importance Of Constructors

    Constructors play a vital role in initializing objects before their use in a program.
