Constructor chaining is a process of calling a constructor from another constructor. We can use this() to call same class constructor and super() to call super class constructor. class SuperClass{ public SuperClass(int i){ System.out.println("Super class constructor"); } }   class SubClass extends SuperClass { public SubClass(){ //Calling same class constructor this(50); }   public SubClass(int … Read more

Yes, we can create an object without using new operator in java. Using newInstance() Method If we know the name of the class and it has a public default constructor than we can create an object in the following way. MyObject object = (MyObject) Class.forName("com.w3schools.MyObject").newInstance();MyObject object = (MyObject) Class.forName("com.w3schools.MyObject").newInstance(); Using clone() The clone() can be … Read more

The way of defining multiple constructor with different arguments in a specified class is called constructor overloading. Parameters can differ in type, number or order. Example /** * This program is used to show the use of constructor overloading. * @author w3schools */ public class ConstructorOverload { int rollNo; boolean isStudent; String name;     … Read more

Example /** * This program is used to copy the values one object into another object using constructor. * @author w3schools */ public class CopyValuesConstructor { int id; String name;   CopyValuesConstructor(int id, String name){ System.out.println("Constructor called."); this.id = id; this.name = name; }   //Copy value of one object into another. CopyValuesConstructor(CopyValuesConstructor obj){ System.out.println("Constructor … Read more

No, we cannot make constructor as final in java. For methods, final keyword is used to prevent them to be overridden by subclass. Constructors are also the special kind of methods but as we know that constructor can not be inherited in subclass, hence there is no use of final keyword with constructor. If we … Read more

Constructor Constructor is a block of statements that permits you to create an object of specified class and has similar name as class with no explicit  or specific return type. No, constructor cannot be inherited in java. In case of inheritance, child/sub class inherits the state (data members) and behavior (methods) of parent/super class. But … Read more

Constructor Constructor is a particular member of the specified class which is used to initialize the state of an object. It gives the values to the data members on the time of object creation that’s the reason it is named constructor. It does not have any explicit return type but it returns current instance of … Read more

Default or no-argument constructor A constructor which does not have any parameter is called default or no-argument constructor. If no constructor is available within the class then java compiler automatically or robotically creates a default constructor on the time of compilation. Syntax: ClassName(){ //Block of statements (Optional) } Why default constructor is used? Default constructor … Read more

Yes, we can run java class without main() method if we use static initalizer and having System.exit(0); statement at the end. Program will compile and execute. public class Test{ static{ System.out.println("Hello Test"); System.exit(0); }public class Test{ static{ System.out.println("Hello Test"); System.exit(0); } But it can be done only upto JAVA 6 version. From Java-7 version the … Read more
