D. A constructor is called explicitly by the programmer
What is a default constructor?
A. A constructor with parameters
B. A constructor that initializes objects with specific values
C. A constructor that does not take any parameters
D. A constructor that is private
If a class does not explicitly define a constructor, what type of constructor does Java provide automatically?

What happens if a class defines a constructor with parameters?
A. The class cannot have a default constructor

What is the output when an object of a class is created without providing arguments for a parameterized constructor?
A. The default values are assigned
B. A compilation error occurs
C. It calls the default constructor
D. It creates an object with null values
How can you create a constructor that initializes variables in a class?
A. By using methods only
B. By using the new
keyword
C. By defining parameters in the constructor
D. By using static variables
In which scenarios is it recommended to use overloaded constructors?
A. When all constructors have the same parameter list
B. When there are different ways to initialize an object
C. When you want to restrict object creation
D. When no constructors are defined
What will happen if you do not call super()
in a subclass constructor?
A. The program will crash
B. The default constructor of the parent class is called automatically
C. The object will not be created

C. Creating multiple objects from one constructor
D. Nesting constructors
What is the significance of the this
keyword in a constructor?
A. It creates a reference to the parameter
B. It allows method overloading
C. It refers to the class itself
D. It refers to the current object instance
Consider the following definition: MyClass(int x) { this.x = x; }
- what does this.x
refer to?
A. The static variable x
B. The parameter x
passed to the constructor
C. An instance variable x
of the class MyClass
D. None of the above
What does it mean if a constructor is declared as private
?
