Overload constructors refer to having multiple constructors in a class with different parameters. Each constructor can have a unique set of parameters, allowing for flexibility when creating objects.
A method call refers to invoking or executing a method in your code. It involves using the method name followed by parentheses and any required arguments inside the parentheses.
A default constructor is a special constructor that takes no arguments. It is automatically created by the compiler if no other constructors are defined.
A parameterized constructor is a constructor that takes one or more parameters. It allows you to initialize the object's state with specific values during instantiation.
