Can i call another constructor from a constructor?


Asked by Mary Macias on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



Calling a constructor from the another constructor of same class is known as Constructor chaining. The real purpose of Constructor Chaining is that you can pass parameters through a bunch of different constructors, but only have the initialization done in a single place.
In fact,
Types of Constructor Java No-Arg Constructors Similar to methods, a Java constructor may or may not have any parameters (arguments). ... Java Parameterized Constructor A Java constructor can also accept one or more parameters. Such constructors are known as parameterized constructors (constructor with parameters). ... Java Default Constructor
In respect to this, The Parameter(Parameter) constructor is a protected copy constructor used to clone a Parameter instance. The values of the Name, Type, DefaultValue, Direction, and ConvertEmptyStringToNull properties are all transferred to the new instance.
Likewise,
A Constructor with arguments (or you can say parameters) is known as Parameterized constructor. As we discussed in the Java Constructor tutorial that a constructor is a special type of method that initializes the newly created object.
Keeping this in consideration,
In computer programming languages, the term default constructor can refer to a constructor that is automatically generated by the compiler in the absence of any programmer-defined constructors (e.g. in Java), and is usually a nullary constructor. In other languages (e.g. in C++) it is a constructor that can be called without having to provide any arguments, irrespective of whether the constructor is auto-generated or user-defined.
