A class method (in object-oriented programming) that creates and initializes each instance of an object
A method that creates an object In the Java language, constructors are instance methods with the same name as their class Java constructors are invoked using the new keyword
Any entity performing construction Can be a contractor or the owner's own forces Constructor is not a widely used term but is less ambiguous than "contractor", which could mean any two parties that have a contract Back to top
A class (in object-oriented programming) that creates and initializes each instance of an object
A function that has the same name as its class It is executed automatically whenever an object is created from the class A constructor is a method that creates an instance of an object It usually sets the object's fields to default values - "default constructor", otherwise it sets these fields to user specified values, in which case it is called a "parameterised constructor" In both cases an object is created which can be used in your program
A class member function that is called whenever a new call object is created Default constructors have no parameters Alternate (or non-default) constructors can have parameters There can be several constructors for a given class
The code which specifies how to make an instance of a class Its name matches the name of the class A constructor is a class member See the chapter on Classes and Objects
A method that is called when a new instance is created Constructor methods are used to initialize the new instance
This is a special method that is called whenever a class is instantiated (Using Objects - Slide 19)
A pseudo-method that creates an object In Java, constructors are instance methods with the same name as their class Java constructors are invoked using the new keyword
A method that creates an object In the C++ and Java languages, constructors are instance methods that have the same name as their class Constructors are invoked by using the new keyword
A JScript function that has two special features: It is invoked by the new operator It is passed the address of a newly created object through the this keyword
A special member function of a class, used to create and initialize objects of that class
A method named after its class A constructor method is invoked when an object of that class is made
—A method that is automatically called when an object is created The constructor is used to initialize the object and place it in a valid state (e g , setting the values of member variables) The constructor method always has the same identifier as the class in which it is defined See Destructor
Member function with the same name as the class It constructs objects of the class type Invoked when associated type used in a definition
The remaining objects that `contain' sub-elements are all object constructors of some sort or another They combine the sub-elements into a compound mathematical object such as a constant, set, list, or a function application For example, the lambda element constructs a function definition from a list of variables and an expression while the apply element constructs a function application By function application we mean the result of applying the first element of the apply (the function) to the zero or more remaining elements (the arguments) A function application represents an object in the range of the function For each given combination of type and order of XML children, the signature of a constructor indicates the type (and sometimes subtype) of the resulting object
(n ) A pseudo-method that creates an object In the JavaTM programming language, constructors are instance methods with the same name as their class Constructors are invoked using the new keyword
A pseudo-method that creates an object In the JavaTM programming language, constructors are instance methods with the same name as their class Constructors are invoked using the new keyword Constructors differ from methods in that they return no data type, they have the same name as the class, and have public visibility (except for abstract classes which appropriately have protected visibility)
A method that is invoked automatically when a new instance of a class is created Constructors are used to initialize the variables of the newly created object The constructor method has the same name as the class
An initialization function for the objects of a class Constructors have the same name as their class
A constructor is a function provided to instantiate an object, i e to create the object and initialize it In Perfect, constructors are declared using the keyword build The parameter list is enclosed in curly brackets to reflect the syntax of a constructor call You never omit "{}" even if the constructor parameter list is empty Constructors have no side-effects, so changeable parameters are not permitted Constructors may have preconditions, but constructor preconditions cannot refer to the current object, because there isn't one at the start of the call It follows that a constructor which takes no parameters cannot have a meaningful precondition
the function that runs when an Object is created This sets up the Object It is the class function in ecma, though usually its a different routine with the same name as the class in other langs
In AIPS++, an instance of a tool is made or constructed by a special type of global function called a constructor In C++, a function provided by a class to instantiate an object, i e to name and initialize it A class may also have a destructor function to destroy objects of that class
The name of the constructor is "make-" followed by the name of the structure, e g make-foo The number of arguments accepted by the constructor is the same as the number of slots; the arguments are the initial values for the slots, and the order of the arguments matches the order of the slot definitions
A special class method that has the same name as the class and is used to construct and possibly initialize objects of its class type
A racing car constructor or aircraft constructor is a company that builds cars or aircraft. a company or person that builds things
