What are constructors in Java?

Entry Java
Quick Answer A constructor is a special method that initializes a new object. Same name as the class, no return type. Called automatically when you use new. If you don't define one, Java provides a default no-arg constructor. You can have multiple constructors (constructor overloading). Use this() to call another constructor in the same class.

Answer

Constructors initialize objects.
Can be default or parameterized.
Overloaded constructors offer multiple initialization ways.
