If the programmer does not supply a constructor for an instantiable class, Java compiler inserts a default constructor into your code on your behalf. This constructor is known as default constructor. You would not find it in your source code (the java file) as it would be inserted into the code during compilation and exists in .class file.
When a class constructor does not explicitly call the constructor of one of its object-valued fields in its initializer list, the default constructor for the field's class is called. In the standard library, certain containers "fill in" values using the default constructor when the value is not given explicitly. E.g.
In computer programming, a nullary constructor is a constructor that takes no arguments. [1] Also known as a 0-argument constructor , no-argument constructor , [ 2 ] parameterless constructor or default constructor .
Copy constructor – construct all the object's members from the corresponding members of the copy constructor's argument, calling the copy constructors of the object's class-type members, and doing a plain assignment of all non-class type (e.g., int or pointer) data members
The compiler generated functions will be public, non-virtual [3] and the copy constructor and assignment operators will receive const& parameters (and not be of the alternative legal forms). [ 4 ] Example
The MazeGame constructor is a template method that adds some common logic. It refers to the makeRoom() factory method that encapsulates the creation of rooms such that other rooms can be used in a subclass.
Notably, a constructor is a class method as there is no object (instance) available until the object is created, but destructors, initializers, and finalizers are instance methods. Further, constructors and initializers often can accept arguments, while destructors and finalizers generally do not as they are often implicitly callable.
The default constructor for T, if any, is called to construct a T instance in the allocated memory buffer. If not enough memory is available in the free store for an object of type T, the new request indicates failure by throwing an exception of type std::bad_alloc. This removes the need to explicitly check the result of an allocation.
