creating a overloaded constructor in java code example
Example 1: Overload the default constructor to take a parameter for each attribute and set it
class StudentData
{
private int stuID;
private String stuName;
private int stuAge;
StudentData()
{
//Default constructor
stuID = 100;
stuName = "New Student";
stuAge = 18;
}
StudentData(int num1, String str, int num2)
{
//Parameterized constructor
stuID = num1;
stuName = str;
stuAge = num2;
}
//Getter and setter methods
public int getStuID() {
return stuID;
}
public void setStuID(int stuID) {
this.stuID = stuID;
}
public String getStuName() {
return stuName;
}
public void setStuName(String stuName) {
this.stuName = stuName;
}
public int getStuAge() {
return stuAge;
}
public void setStuAge(int stuAge) {
this.stuAge = stuAge;
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
//This object creation would call the default constructor
StudentData myobj = new StudentData();
System.out.println("Student Name is: "+myobj.getStuName());
System.out.println("Student Age is: "+myobj.getStuAge());
System.out.println("Student ID is: "+myobj.getStuID());
/*This object creation would call the parameterized
* constructor StudentData(int, String, int)*/
StudentData myobj2 = new StudentData(555, "Chaitanya", 25);
System.out.println("Student Name is: "+myobj2.getStuName());
System.out.println("Student Age is: "+myobj2.getStuAge());
System.out.println("Student ID is: "+myobj2.getStuID());
}
}
Example 2: Can we overload the constructors
Yes, the constructors can be overloaded by changing the number of
arguments accepted by the constructor or by changing the data type of
the parameters
