In this tutorial, you will learn constructors in the C++ language with their examples.
Constructor in C++ language
The constructor may be set a proper kind of purpose that has the name same as that of the class. The constructor gets requested right later the object is initialized and is not needed to call the constructor explicitly. Once the constructor is requested, it will assign memory to the resources. A constructor is a special class member function of a class that initializes objects i.e. class instance). In C++, Constructor has the same name as that of a class name. If the object of a class is created, Constructor is automatically called. A constructor can be set either inside the class or outside the class definition using class name and scope resolution (::) operator.
It performs the application more useful and it can be held as a good approach to programming. It can be declared as similar to the additional rules. The constructor performs like a normal function but it can’t return any value. It is generally described in class to initialize data members. The only method is different from other methods in that class is enough to the name of the function. As additional functions, values can be passed to the construction while initialization. It can be of any return type based on the requirement of the program. In this topic, we are going to learn about Constructors in C++.
Syntax:
In order to perform the constructor in the C++ program, one thing must have you follow the exact syntax. The syntax has to be held while initializing and declaring. Following is the syntax for declaration then we will take a look at the syntax for initialization.
Constructor Declaration
name() { Constructor Body; // Statement 1,2,3... }
name: It indicates the name of the constructor. The name must be the same as the name of the class in which the constructor is declared.
Example:
#include<iostream> #include<condio.h> class Hello{ private: int n; public: Hello() { cout<<"Object is Created"<<endl; }}; int main() { Hello x,y,z; getch(); }
How does Constructor Work in C++?
Before we can use a constructor in the program, we have to make sure to understand how it works so that we can use it correctly to make the program efficient. The way it works is very simple and contributes to the application for the betterment. The constructor is used in the program where we need to invoke a set of statements whenever the object for the particular class is created. The constructor is never required to be called explicitly.
Once you make the instance of the classes, it will implicitly call the constructor and will perform a statement under that. In case if specific values have to be passed, you will need to pass the values at the point where the object of that class is being created.
Conclusion
The constructor may be set as the special feature of the programming languages which is used to create the program effectively and efficiently. It can also be held as a particular type of method that has the same name as that of the class and can be invoked whenever the object of that class is created. Based on the condition of the constructor once can take between the default and the parameterized constructor. It has to be realized that it can only be used in the case when there is something that has to be called immediately right after the instance of the class has been created.
