General Info: Class Constructor

Constructors are called when you instantiate an object from a class. This is where you can initialize variables and put code you wish executed each time the class is created. When you initially set the member fields and properties of an object, you are initializing the state of the object. The state of an object is the values of all it's member fields and properties at a given time.

Languages Focus: Constructor

What is the syntax? Can you overload constructors? Is a special method name reserved for constructors?

Java Constructors

A method with the same name as the class.

Syntax Example:

public class Cyborg{

  //Constructors have the same name as the class.

  public Cyborg() {
