What is Java class constructor?

[taye]

A constructor initializes an object during object creation when using new operator.
Java allows objects to initialize themselves when they are created. This automatic initialization is performed through the use of a constructor.

Syntax
It has the same name as the class. Constructors have no return type, not even void.

 class ClassName{
 
   ClassName(parameter list){ // constructor
    ...
   }
}
 
Example
 
In the following code the Rectangle class in the following uses a constructor to set the dimensions:
 
 
class Rectangle {
  double width;
  double height;
 
  Rectangle() {
    width = 10;
    height = 10;
  }
 
  double area() {
    return width * height;
  }
}
 
public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Rectangle mybox1 = new Rectangle();
    double area;
    area = mybox1.area();
    System.out.println("Area is " + area);
 
  }
}
