State three differences between a constructor and a method.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A constructor has the same name as the class while a method may have any name. A constructor has no return type while a method must declare one. A constructor is invoked automatically when the object is created, whereas a method must be called explicitly.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
A constructor cannot be inherited, though it can be invoked from a subclass constructor with super().
