What does it mean to call constructor from another constructor?


Asked by Marlee Matthews on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



Calling one constructor from another constructor is called Constructor chaining. The main objective of this is that we can do initialization in one place and call many constructors with different parameters. We can achieve this by calling the other constructors using this keyword.
Similarly,
Constructor chaining is the process of calling one constructor from another constructor with respect to current object. From base class: by using super () keyword to call constructor from the base class. Constructor chaining occurs through inheritance. A sub class constructor's task is to call super class's constructor first.
Subsequently, No, you cannot call a constructor from a method. The only place from which you can invoke constructors using "this ()" or, "super ()" is the first line of another constructor. If you try to invoke constructors explicitly elsewhere, a compile time error will be generated.
Thereof,
The fastest way to generate a constructor based on fields is to press Alt+Shift+S, O (alternatively select Source > Generate Constructor using Fields… from the application menu). This pops up a dialog where you can select the fields you want to include in the constructor arguments.

Java Parameterized Constructor A Java constructor can also accept one or more parameters. Such constructors are known as parameterized constructors (constructor with parameters). ...
