C# Constructors

C# Constructors

A constructor in C# is a special method that is automatically called when an object is created.
It is used to initialize fields or perform setup tasks.

🔹 Key Features of Constructors

1. Same name as class

2. No return type (not even void)

3. Called automatically

4. Can be parameterized or default

🔹 Default Constructor

🔹 Parameterized Constructor

🔹 Constructor Overloading

You can have multiple constructors with different parameters.

🔹 Static Constructor

• Called once when the class is first accessed

• Used to initialize static members

🔹 Private Constructor

• Used in Singleton design pattern

• Prevents creation of objects outside the class

🔹 Common Mistakes

❌ Using a return type (constructors never have return types)
❌ Forgetting parameterized constructor call
❌ Confusing static and instance constructors

🔹 Summary

✔ Constructors initialize objects automatically
✔ Can be default, parameterized, or static
✔ Supports overloading
✔ Private constructors are used in special patterns
