With in the same class if we want to call one constructor from other we use this() method. Based on the number of parameters we pass appropriate this() method is called.
Restrictions for using this method :
- this must be the first statement in the constructor
- we cannot use two this() methods in the constructor
Example:-
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
public class Foo { private int x; public Foo() { this(1); } public Foo(int x) { this.x = x; } } |
