You need to understand why a constructor is used in object-oriented programming in the first place.

A constructor is nothing but a method.
The whole idea is to prepare a new object for use (e.g. with parameters etc that the object methods might need).

A constructor can be inherited in a sub-class.

Solution 2

Constructor creates the new object for using in a program. It can also be for initializing data members. It does not have any return type.
