CONSTRUCTORS Meaning and
Definition
-
Constructors are methods or member functions typically found in object-oriented programming languages that are used to initialize objects of a class. They are special types of functions that are automatically called when an object is being created.
The purpose of constructors is to allocate memory for the object, set its initial state, and perform any other necessary operations to prepare the object for use. They are responsible for assigning values to the data members of the object and establishing its initial behavior.
Constructors are defined within a class and have the same name as the class itself. They can have parameters, allowing different objects of the same class to be initialized with different initial values. If no parameters are specified, the constructor is called the default constructor.
Constructors are invoked using the new operator when an object is created. They are called implicitly and cannot be called explicitly like regular member functions.
In addition to the default constructor, which has no parameters, there are other types of constructors including copy constructors, parameterized constructors, and destructor. Copy constructors are used to create a new object as a copy of an existing object. Parameterized constructors allow object initialization with specified values. Destructors are called when an object is destroyed and are responsible for releasing any resources allocated by the object during its lifetime.

Etymology of CONSTRUCTORS
The word "constructors" is derived from the verb "construct", which originated from the Latin word "construere". "Construere" is a combination of the prefix "con-" meaning "together" or "with", and "struere" meaning "to build" or "to pile up". Therefore, "constructors" refers to those who engage in the act of building or constructing something.
