Whati is Constructor ?
Next
- A constructor is a special method in Python.
- The name of the constructor is always
__init__().
- You are not required to call the constructor explicitly; it is automatically executed when creating an object.
- The constructor is executed only once per object.
- The main purpose of the constructor is to declare and initialize instance variables.
- The constructor must take at least one argument:
self.
- Within a class, the constructor is optional. If you do not define a constructor, Python will provide a default constructor.
- Based on your requirements, you can call the constructor explicitly, and it will be executed like a normal method.
- Constructor overloading is not applicable in Python, meaning you cannot define multiple constructors within the same class. If multiple constructors are defined, only the last one will be considered.
