Core Java - Interview Questions and Answers for 'Default constructor' - 11 question(s) found - Order By Rating

 Q1. Why Java doesn't provide a default constructor if we define an argument constructor ?Core Java
Ans. Java provides a default constructor ( no argument ) if no constructor is provided by the programmer. Java makes a check during pre compilation if there is any constructor provided by the programmer. If any constructor is provided, Java understands that programmer has provided all the mechanism for initialization and construction of the object and may not even intend to create objects by calling a no argument constructor. For example - One may like to have objects created with self defined state otherwise restrict its creation.

We make the constructor private if we want to make a class singleton as we would like to restrict creation of new objects using new operator and default constructor. Similar could be the situation wherein we would like to construct objects in a particular manner only.

 Q5. Difference between Class#getInstance() and new operator ?
Ans. Class.getInstance doesn't call the constructor whereas if we create an object using new operator , we need to have a matching constructor or copiler should provide a default constructor.

 Q7. Does every class needs to have one non parameterized constructor ?Core Java

 Q9. Why Java provides default constructor ?Core Java
Ans. At the beginning of an object's life, the Java virtual machine (JVM) allocates memory on the heap to accommodate the object's instance variables. When that memory is first allocated, however, the data it contains is unpredictable. If the memory were used as is, the behavior of the object would also be unpredictable. To guard against such a scenario, Java makes certain that memory is initialized, at least to predictable default values before it is used by any code.

 Q10. In a case where there are no instance variables what does the default constructor initialize?Core Java
Ans. Java expects the superclass ( Object Class ) constructor to be called while creation of any object. So super constructor is called in case there are no instance variables to initialize.

 Q11. What will be the output of following code ?
class BuggyBread2 {       
   private static int counter = 0;     
   void BuggyBread2() {        
      counter = 5;    
   }     
   
   BuggyBread2(int x){
      counter = x;    
   }        

   public static void main(String[] args) {        
      BuggyBread2 bg = new BuggyBread2();        
      System.out.println(counter);    
   } 
}
Core Java
Ans.  Compile time error as it won't find the constructor matching BuggyBread2(). 
Compiler won't provide default no argument constructor as programmer has already defined one constructor. 
Compiler will treat user defined BuggyBread2() as a method, as return type ( void ) has been specified for that.
