Time'	Narration
00:03	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on constructor overloading in java.
00:08	In this tutorial we will learn
00:10	what is constructor overloading
00:13	And to overload constructor
00:16	Here we are using Ubuntu version 11.10 OS Java Development kit 1.6 Eclipse 3.7.0
00:27	To follow this tutorial you must know
00:30	how to create constructors in java using eclipse.
00:34	If not, for relevant tutorials please visit our website which is as shown, (http://www.spoken-tutorial.org)
00:40	What is constructor overloading?
00:43	Define multiple constructors for a class.
00:46	They must differ in number or types of parameters.
00:50	Let us now see how to overload constructor.
00:54	In eclipse, I have a class Student with two variables and a method.
01:03	Let us first create a parameterized constructor.
01:07	So type, Student within parentheses int number comma String the_name.
01:26	Within curly brackets, type roll_number is equal to number.
01:38	And name is equal to the_name
01:46	So we have a constructor with two parameters.
01:51	let us call this constructor.
01:53	So in name method type new Student parentheses semi colon
02:03	We see an error, it states that constructor Student is undefined.
02:10	This is simply because we have defined a constructor with two parameters.
02:16	And we are calling a constructor without parameters.
02:22	So we need to pass arguments.
02:25	So within parentheses type 22 comma in double quotes Ram.
02:33	We see that the error is resolved.
02:36	Let us call the method.
02:38	So before new type Student s is equal to new student.
02:45	Now using the object s recall the method studentDetail()
02:53	Save the program and Run.
02:58	We see the output 22 and Ram.
03:03	Now let us define a constructor' with no parameter.
03:07	So type, Student parentheses.
03:12	Within curly brackets roll_number is equal to 0.
03:21	And name is equal to in double quotes hypen that is no name
03:30	So now we can call the constructor with no parameters.
03:35	So type Student s1 is equal to new Student parentheses semicolon.
03:47	This time we see no error, since we have define a constructor without parameter
03:55	Then s1 dot studentDetail.
04:01	Save and Run the program.
04:04	So in the output we see zero and dash and default constructor is called.
04:11	This is constructor overloading.
04:13	We have two constructor with different parameter.
04:17	Both the constructor obviously have same name.
04:20	So depending on the type and number of parameter, the constructor is called.
04:26	Let us see the advantage of constructor overloading.
04:30	Suppose now call a constructor with two parameters.
04:35	So type Student s3= new Student();
04:51	Now within parentheses, suppose i gave the name argument first and then the roll number.
04:58	let see what happens.
04:59	So in double quotes Raju comma 45
05:08	We see an error which states that the constructor student with the parameter String comma int is undefined.
05:18	So let us define the constructor.
05:22	So type Student within parentheses String the_name comma int r_no
05:42	So over here first parameter is string and the second parameter is int'
05:52	Then Within curly bracket, roll_number' is equal to r_no.
06:05	And name is equal to the_name.
06:15	Save the program.
06:18	Now we see that the error is resolved.
06:22	Let us call the method.
06:24	So s3 dot studentDetail.
06:29	Save the program and Run
06:35	So we see the output45 and Raju
06:40	So here we see that when we call the constructor.
06:43	We do not have to worry about the parameters that we are passing.
06:47	This is simply because we have define multiple constructor with different parameters.
06:54	So the proper constructor is overloaded.
06:57	We can therefore now define a constructor which takes only one parameter.
07:02	That is roll number.
07:05	So type Student within parentheses int num.
07:16	within curly brackets roll_number is equalto num.
07:25	And name is equal to no name.
07:33	Now let us call this constructor
07:43	So type Student s4 is equalto new Student this time we will pass an single argument. So let us pass 61
08:04	Then s4 dot studentDetail
08:10	Save and Run the program
08:14	So in the output we see the roll number as 61 and name as no name.
08:21	As we can see, the proper overloaded constructor is called when new is executed.
08:27	Based upon the parameters specified the proper constructor is overloaded.
08:33	This is how constructor overloading is done.
08:40	So in this tutorial, we have learnt
08:42	About the constructor overloading.
08:45	to overload constructor and the use of constructor overloading
08:50	For self assessment, create multiple constructors for class Employeeand Overload the constructor.
