Overloaded Constructor

Definition

An overloaded constructor is a feature in object-oriented programming that allows multiple constructors to be defined within a class with different parameter lists. Each constructor performs a specific initialization task when creating an instance of the class.

Default Constructor:

A default constructor is an overloaded constructor that takes no arguments or parameters.

Parameterized Constructor:

A parameterized constructor is an overloaded constructor that takes one or more parameters as input for initializing the object's properties.

Method Overloading: Method overloading is similar to overloaded constructors but applies to methods instead. It allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists to coexist in a class.
