2. Object Constructors

• Constructors are special operations that help to create and initialize objects.

• Constructors are similar to

  • methods in Java

  • member functions in C++.

• Compilers recognize that an operation is a constructor by looking at the name:

  • If name is the same as the class name, then this is a constructor.

  • A significant difference between constructors and other operations is that constructors don't have a return value.
