What is constructor overloading? Give one situation in which it is useful.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Constructor overloading is defining more than one constructor in a class, differing in the number, type or order of their parameters. It is useful when an object may be created with different amounts of information: a Rectangle might be created from a length and a breadth, from a single side for a square, or with no argument at all for default dimensions.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The compiler chooses the constructor that matches the argument list.
