* Ubuntu version 11.10
* Java Development Environment jdk 1.6
* Eclipse 3.7

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Slide 4

Prerequisites
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| To follow this tutorial you must know

how to create a class and object of the class in '''java''' using '''eclipse'''.

If not, for relevant tutorials please visit our website which is as shown,

(http://www.spoken-tutorial.org)

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Slide 5

What is a '''Constructor'''?
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Constructor''' is used to initialize the instance variables.

It is called at the creation of new object.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Switch to eclipse

Point to the '''Student.java''' file
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Let us now see how '''constructor''' is defined in java.

So in the '''eclipse,''' I have already created a java file, '''Student.java'''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Type: '''

'''int roll_number;'''

'''String name;'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| In the Student class we will declare two variables.

So type '''''int''''' '''''roll_number''''' ''semi-colon'' and '''''String''''' '''''name''''' semi''-colon.''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Type:'''

'''System.out.println(roll_number);'''

'''System.out.println(name);'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Now let us create a method.

So type '''''void''''' '''''studentDetail()'''''

Within curly ''brackets'' '''''System''''' ''dot'' '''''out''''' ''dot'' '''''println''''' '''''roll_number'''''

Then '''''System''''' ''dot'' '''''out''''' ''dot'' '''''println''''' '''''name'''''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Type:'''

'''Student stu=new Student();'''

'''stu.studentDetail();'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Now in '''Main''' method we will call this method.

So let us create an object and call the method.

So type '''''Student''''' '''''stu''''' ''equal'' ''to'' '''''new''''' '''''Student'''''

'''''stu''''' ''dot'' '''''studentDetail'''''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Click on '''Run '''icon
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Run '''the program.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to the output

| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| We see the output zero and null.

So, the int variable '''roll_number''' has been initialized to its default value zero.

And the String '''name''' to its default value null.

If we do not define a constructor then a default constructor is created.

Default constructor has no parameters.

It initializes the instance variables to their default value.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Type''':

'''Student()'''

Highlight '''Student'''()

'''{}'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Now let us define a '''constructor.'''

So type '''''Student''''' ''parenthesis''.

'''Constructor''' has the same name as the class name to which it belongs.

Open and close ''curly'' brackets

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to the '''constructor'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Constructors''' are similar to methods but there are some important differences.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Save '''and''' Run''' the program
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Save''' and '''Run '''the program.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to the output
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| We see the same output.

This is because the '''constructor''', we defined is same as having no '''constructor.'''

Here no default '''constructor''' is created because we have defined a '''constructor.'''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Type:'''

'''roll_number=10;'''

'''name=”Raman”;'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Now lets give value to the variables.

So inside the '''constructor''' type '''''roll_number''''' ''is'' ''equal'' ''to'' ''ten''.

And '''''name''''' ''is'' ''equal'' ''to'' in double ''quotes '''Raman'''''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Save''' and '''Run''' the program
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Save''' and '''Run''' the program.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to the output
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| We see in the output that '''roll_number''' value is '''ten''' and '''name''' is Raman.

So '''constructor''' initializes the instance field.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Highlight '''void '''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Now let us see some difference between a '''method''' and a '''constructor'''.

'''Constructor''' does not have any return type.

'''Method''' has a return type.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Highlight '''new''' and '''.'''
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:0.035cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Constructor''' is called using the '''new''' operator.

'''Method''' is called using the '''dot''' operator.

So this were some differences between '''constructor''' and '''method.'''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.035cm solid #000000;border-left:0.035cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Slide 6

Summary

* About the default constructor.
* To define a contructor.
* Differences between '''method''' and '''constructor.'''

Create a class Employee with variables and a method to display variables.

Create a constructor for the class Employee.
