Explain the different types of constructors.

Question

Accepted Answer

Constructors are special methods in OOP used to initialize objects. They can be categorized into several types.

Default Constructor: Initializes objects with default values. Example: `class MyClass { MyClass() { } };`
Parameterized Constructor: Initializes objects with specific values. Example: `class MyClass { MyClass(int x) { } };`
Copy Constructor: Creates a new object as a copy of an existing object. Example: `MyClass(const MyClass &obj) { }`
Static Constructor: Initializes static members of a class. Example: `static MyClass() { }` (C# specific)
Private Constructor: Restricts instantiation of a class from outside. Example: `class MyClass { private MyClass() { } };`
