Answer Key – Constructors (Java)
Q1. Book Class – Parameterized Constructor
class Book {
String title;
String author;
double price;
Book(String t, String a, double p) {
title = t;
author = a;
price = p;
}
void display() {
[Link]("Title: " + title);
[Link]("Author: " + author);
[Link]("Price: " + price);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Book b1 = new Book("Java Basics", "Herbert Schildt", 499.50);
[Link]();
}
}
Explanation: Uses a parameterized constructor to initialize object data members. Each value is assigned
through the constructor.
Sample Output: Title: Java Basics Author: Herbert Schildt Price: 499.5
Q2. Rectangle Class – Constructor Overloading
class Rectangle {
int length;
int breadth;
Rectangle(int side) {
length = breadth = side;
}
Rectangle(int l, int b) {
length = l;
breadth = b;
}
int area() {
return length * breadth;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Rectangle sq = new Rectangle(5);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(4, 6);
[Link]("Square Area: " + [Link]());
[Link]("Rectangle Area: " + [Link]());
}
}
Explanation: Shows constructor overloading by changing parameter lists.
Sample Output: Square Area: 25 Rectangle Area: 24
Q3. Student Class – Copy Constructor
class Student {
String name;
int marks;
Student(String n, int m) {
name = n;
marks = m;
}
Student(Student s) {
name = [Link];
marks = [Link];
}
void show() {
[Link](name + " - " + marks);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Student s1 = new Student("Ravi", 85);
Student s2 = new Student(s1);
[Link]();
[Link]();
}
}
Explanation: Demonstrates how a copy constructor duplicates the state of another object.
Sample Output: Ravi - 85 Ravi - 85
Q4. Default Constructor Message
class Welcome {
Welcome() {
[Link]("Welcome to Constructors!");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Welcome obj = new Welcome();
}
}
Explanation: Shows how a default constructor runs automatically when an object is created.
Sample Output: Welcome to Constructors!
Q5. GCD Calculation Constructor
class GCD {
int a;
int b;
GCD(int x, int y) {
a = x;
b = y;
}
int findGCD() {
while(a != b) {
if(a > b)
a = a - b;
else
b = b - a;
}
return a;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
GCD g = new GCD(12, 8);
[Link]("GCD: " + [Link]());
}
}
Explanation: Uses a parameterized constructor and method to calculate the GCD.
Sample Output: GCD: 4
Q6. Inheritance Constructor Order
class Person {
Person() {
[Link]("Person Constructor Called");
}
}
class Employee extends Person {
Employee() {
[Link]("Employee Constructor Called");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Employee e = new Employee();
}
}
Explanation: Demonstrates constructor calling order in inheritance — superclass constructor runs first.
Sample Output: Person Constructor Called Employee Constructor Called
Q7. Box Volume using this Keyword
class Box {
double length;
double breadth;
double height;
Box(double length, double breadth, double height) {
[Link] = length;
[Link] = breadth;
[Link] = height;
}
double volume() {
return length * breadth * height;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Box b = new Box(2.5, 3.0, 4.0);
[Link]("Volume: " + [Link]());
}
}
Explanation: Shows use of 'this' keyword to refer to instance variables.
Sample Output: Volume: 30.0
Q8. Prime Check Constructor
class PrimeCheck {
int num;
PrimeCheck(int n) {
num = n;
boolean flag = true;
for(int i = 2; i <= num / 2; i++) {
if(num % i == 0) {
flag = false;
break;
}
}
if(flag)
[Link](num + " is Prime");
else
[Link](num + " is not Prime");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
PrimeCheck p = new PrimeCheck(17);
}
}
Explanation: Checks if a number is prime using a constructor-based logic.
Sample Output: 17 is Prime
Q9. Scanner Input in Constructor
import [Link].*;
class StudentInput {
String name;
int marks;
StudentInput() {
Scanner sc = new Scanner([Link]);
[Link]("Enter name: ");
name = [Link]();
[Link]("Enter marks: ");
marks = [Link]();
}
void display() {
[Link](name + " scored " + marks + " marks.");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
StudentInput s = new StudentInput();
[Link]();
}
}
Explanation: Shows how constructor can take user input directly when object is created.
Sample Output: Enter name: Ravi Enter marks: 90 Ravi scored 90 marks.
Q10. BankAccount Constructor
class BankAccount {
String name;
int accNo;
double balance;
BankAccount(String n, int a, double b) {
name = n;
accNo = a;
balance = b;
}
void display() {
[Link](name + " | " + accNo + " | " + balance);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
BankAccount c1 = new BankAccount("Ravi", 1001, 25000);
BankAccount c2 = new BankAccount("Priya", 1002, 30000);
[Link]();
[Link]();
}
}
Explanation: Initializes customer details using parameterized constructor and prints them using a
method.
Sample Output: Ravi | 1001 | 25000.0 Priya | 1002 | 30000.0

Worksheet – Descriptive Program Questions (Constructors in
Java)
Q1. Write a Java program to create a class Book with data members title, author, and price. Use
a parameterized constructor to initialize these values and a method display() to print them.
Explain how the constructor initializes the object.
Q2. Define a class Rectangle to calculate the area. Use constructor overloading — one
constructor to calculate the area of a square, and another to calculate the area of a rectangle.
Explain how Java distinguishes between the two constructors.
Q3. Create a class Student with members name and marks. Define one parameterized
constructor and another copy constructor to duplicate the data of an existing object.
Demonstrate the concept using two Student objects.
Q4. Write a program using a default constructor that displays a welcome message when an
object is created. Explain why a constructor is called automatically and how it differs from a
normal method call.
Q5. Write a program using a parameterized constructor that accepts two numbers and
calculates their GCD (Greatest Common Divisor). Display the result using a method show().
Q6. Create two classes Person and Employee where Employee inherits from Person. Use
constructors in both classes to initialize data and demonstrate the order of constructor invocation
in inheritance.
Q7. Write a program Box with data members length, breadth, and height. Use the this keyword
inside the constructor to differentiate between instance variables and parameters. Calculate and
display the volume of the box.
Q8. Write a Java program that uses a constructor to check whether a number passed as an
argument is prime. Display appropriate messages.
Q9. Write a program using Scanner class where the constructor reads the student’s name and
marks, then displays them. Explain how taking input inside a constructor differs from input inside
a normal method.
Q10. Create a class BankAccount with instance variables name, accNo, and balance. Use a
parameterized constructor to initialize details of each customer. Create multiple objects and
display all account details using a loop.
