Actually I can not understand that what is the difference between a no-arg constructor and a default constructor.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test extends JFrame {
public Test() {
super();
this.setSize(200,200);
this.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(Sting[] arg) {
Test cFrame = new Test();
}
}
Does this invoke the default constructor of this class while creating Test object called cFrame?
The default
constructor is a no-args constructor that the Java compiler inserts on your behalf; it contains a default
call to super();
(not supper()
) which is the default behavior. If you implement any constructor then you no longer receive a default constructor.
JLS-8.8.9. Default Constructor says (in part),
If a class contains no constructor declarations, then a default constructor with no formal parameters and no throws clause is implicitly declared.
If the class being declared is the primordial class Object, then the default constructor has an empty body. Otherwise, the default constructor simply invokes the superclass constructor with no arguments.
