Answer / subrat
This is what differenciates constructor from a method. If
constructor have a return type then the JVM will not treat
constructor as constructor but as method.

because it is called implicitly when object is created... so it doesn't have any target to return values....
for ex..
int v=Integer.parseInt(X.readLine());
int n=fact(v);
int fact(int)
{
.....return ans
}
so it return ans to the variable n which is assigned to calling statement..... when compared the constructor don't have any target to return

Answer / sushila
constructor does not have a return type. it is not executed,
while loading class into the memory.
constructor is executed only once for each object.

Answer / sankar r k
The function of the constructor is to assign values to the
instance variable when the object is created for the first
time.The name of the constructor and the class name will be
same.
