Constructors

• Constructors run when the class is instantiated.
• They have the same name as the class itself, but no return value.
• You must use constructors with the new keyword, you cannot call them directly.
• Example:

Car myCar = new Car(); //ok
myCar.Car(); // not ok!
• Constructors can take explicit parameters (the parameters between the ()).  And, you may have multiple constructors, each with a different signature.
• Constructors cannot return a value.
