constructor in class code example

Example 1: constructor

A constructor is a special method used to initialize objects in java.
we use constructors to initialize all variables in the class 
when an object is created. As and when an object
is created it is initialized automatically with the help of 
constructor in java.
  
We have two types of constructors:
Default Constructor
Parameterized Constructor

public classname(){
}
public classname(parameters list){
}

Example 2: classes and constructors

using namespace std;
 
class Line {
   public:
      void setLength( double len );
      double getLength( void );
      Line();  // This is the constructor
   private:
      double length;
};
 
// Member functions definitions including constructor
Line::Line(void) {
   cout << "Object is being created" << endl;
}
void Line::setLength( double len ) {
   length = len;
}
double Line::getLength( void ) {
   return length;
}

// Main function for the program
int main() {
   Line line;
 
   // set line length
   line.setLength(6.0); 
   cout << "Length of line : " << line.getLength() <<endl;
 
   return 0;
}
