Can I call default constructor from parameterized constructor inside public class in java?

Question

I want to call default constructor from a parameterized constructor inside a public java class.

Can I achieve it?

Answer 1

yes you can

public YourClass() {
    public YourClass() { super();}
    public YourClass(int x) { this();}
}

provided you have the same argument constructor. This won't work

public YourClass() {
    public YourClass(int x, int y) { this(); } // compiler error here
    public YourClass(int x) { super(); }
}

Note: super() calls the super constructor (in this case, class Object, because MyClass extends Object implicitly and class Object has a no arg constructor) that matches the same number of arguments.

this() calls the constructor of the current class that matches the same number of arguments.
