What Are Constructors in Java?

Constructors in Java are special methods used to initialize objects when they are created. Their name must match the class name exactly and they do not have a return type. Constructors can accept parameters to initialize objects with specific values during creation. If a class does not explicitly define a constructor, the Java compiler automatically provides a default no-argument constructor. However, if a constructor is defined in the class, the default constructor is not generated. Constructors can be overloaded, meaning a class can have multiple constructors as long as their parameter lists differ.
