Java Constructors

Question 1
Predict the output?
package main;
class T {
  int t = 20;
}
class Main {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      T t1 = new T();
      System.out.println(t1.t);
   }
}

Compiler Error


Question 1-Explanation: 
In Java, member variables can assigned a value with declaration. In C++, only static const variables can be assigned like this.
Question 2
Predict the output of following Java program
class T {
  int t = 20;
  T() {
    t = 40;
  }
}
class Main {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      T t1 = new T();
      System.out.println(t1.t);
   }
}
Cross
20
Tick
40
Cross
Compiler Error


Question 2-Explanation: 
The values assigned inside constructor overwrite the values initialized with declaration.
Question 3
Which of the following is/are true about constructors in Java?

1) Constructor name should be same as class name.
2) If you don't define a constructor for a class, 
    a default parameterless constructor is automatically
    created by the compiler. 
3) The default constructor calls super() and initializes all 
   instance variables to default value like 0, null.
4) If we want to parent class constructor, it must be called in 
   first line of constructor.

Question 4

Is there any compiler error in the below Java program? 

Java

class Point {
    int m_x, m_y; 
    public Point(int x, int y) {    m_x = x;    m_y = y;  }
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    {
      Point p = new Point();
    }
}

Tick

Yes

Cross

No



Question 4-Explanation: 

The main function calls parameterless constructor, but there is only one constructor defined in class which takes two parameters. Note that if we write our own constructor, then compiler doesn\'t create default constructor in Java. This behavior is same as C++.

Question 5
Output of following Java program
class Point {
  int m_x, m_y;
  
  public Point(int x, int y) { m_x = x; m_y = y; }
  public Point() { this(10, 10); }
  public int getX() { return m_x; }
  public int getY() { return m_y; }
  
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Point p = new Point();
    System.out.println(p.getX());
  }
}

Question 5-Explanation: 
it\'s a simple program where constructor is called with parameters and values are initialized.
Question 6
final class Complex {
    private  double re,  im;
    public Complex(double re, double im) {
        this.re = re;
        this.im = im;
    }
    Complex(Complex c)
    {
      System.out.println("Copy constructor called");
      re = c.re;
      im = c.im;
    }            
    public String toString() {
        return "(" + re + " + " + im + "i)";
    }            
}
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Complex c1 = new Complex(10, 15);
        Complex c2 = new Complex(c1);    
        Complex c3 = c1;  
        System.out.println(c2);
    }
}
Tick
Copy constructor called
(10.0 + 15.0i)
Cross
Copy constructor called
(0.0 + 0.0i)
Cross
(10.0 + 15.0i)
Cross
(0.0 + 0.0i)


Question 7
class Test
{
    static int a;
    
    static
    {
        a = 4;
        System.out.println ("inside static block\n");
        System.out.println ("a = " + a);
    }
    
    Test()
    {
        System.out.println ("\ninside constructor\n");
        a = 10;
    }
    
    public static void func()
    {
        a = a + 1;
        System.out.println ("a = " + a);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Test obj = new Test();
        obj.func();

    }
}
 
Tick
inside static block
a = 4
inside constructor
a = 11
Cross
Compiler Error
Cross
Run Time Error
Cross
inside static block
a = 4
inside constructor
a = 5
Cross
inside static block
a = 10
inside constructor
a = 11


Question 7-Explanation: 
Static blocks are called before constructors. Therefore, on object creation of class Test, static block is called. So, static variable a = 4. Then constructor Test() is called which assigns a = 10. Finally, function func() increments its value.
