Java Constructor Rules

The following rules must be adhered to when creating Java constructors:

1) The name of the constructor must be the same as the class name for which the constructor is being defined.
2) The constructor must not define a return type.
3) If a constructor is not defined for a class, the compiler creates a default constructor. This default constructor contains no arguments.
4) If a constructor is defined for class, the compiler does not create a default constructor.
5) Overloaded constructors may be created but there cannot be two constructors in the same class with the same argument list.
