Question

Explain Constructor with an example.

Answer 1

A constructor is a specialised method within a class that is automatically called the moment an object is created. Its main job is to "set up" the object by assigning initial values to its data members.

Example:

class Car:
    # This is the constructor
    def __init__(self, brand, year):
        self.brand = brand  # Initializing the brand attribute
        self.year = year    # Initializing the year attribute

# Creating an object triggers the constructor automatically
my_car = Car("Toyota", 2022)

print(my_car.brand) # Output: Toyota
