Java Programming - Declarations and Access Control - Discussion
Discussion Forum : Declarations and Access Control - Finding the output (Q.No. 3)
3.
What will be the output of the program?
public class A
{
void A() /* Line 3 */
{
System.out.println("Class A");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new A();
}
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Option D is correct. The specification at line 3 is for a method and not a constructor and this method is never called therefore there is no output. The constructor that is called is the default constructor.

I have a doubt in Java. In c++, only the constructor name is the same as the class name. i.e., C++ does not allow any other member functions can have the name same as the class name and also the constructor returns no value.
But in Java, we can have a method name same as the class name even though it is not a constructor. i.e.,
class myClass
{
void myClass() // constructor
{
}
int myClass() // not a construcor, but java allows it , why?
{
}
}

This is easy, get the constructor basics right first.
Like everyone said a constructor doesn't have a return type.
Therefore void A(){//code}, int A(){//code}, float A(){//code} ,etc. are all methods where as,
A(){//code} is a constructor
Therefore in the given code, just remove 'void' and i'll become a constructor and print "Class A" otherwise it won't do anything.

void myClass is not constructor my dear friend,first of all we must know constructor are the speacial method in java which has the exact same name as the class,and must not have a return type,here in abhijeet's question void myClass() is not a constructor because its having return type that is void,so java compiler won't deal it as a constructor.

Constructor don't have return type and in this problem there is return type which is void A() so this is a method and int his very question method name is also with same name as class so block will not execute.

If we are allowed to have method with same name. How Compiler will come to know whether we have written a valid function code or a wrong constructor code. Please help to clarify on this. Thanks.

As per my knowledge, method name starts with a lowercase.
Here it is void A().
So one can also think that it is a constructor declared wrongly and hence the option B. Compilation fails.

In java Constructor doesn't have return type right. Then how is it possible?
public class A
{
void A() /* Line 3 */
{
System.out.println("Class A");
}
public class A
{
void A() /* Line 3 */
{
System.out.println("Class A");
}

For me, the answer is "B" Compilations fails, because the compiler by Eclipse gives me this message (before compile, I can't compile).
"This method has a constructor name".
"This method has a constructor name".

In Abhijit Saha's example, void myclass is a constructor to class myclass then,
Why void A is not a constructor to class A?
can anyone clarify with clear examples?

Constructor can only initialize like:
void A(int a)
{
this.a=a;
}
Where as method will have statements:
void A
{
print...(bla bla bla);
}
Hope you're clear.
void A(int a)
{
this.a=a;
}
Where as method will have statements:
void A
{
print...(bla bla bla);
}
Hope you're clear.
