Can you call a constructor within a constructor?..

Answer / ranganathkini

Yes once constructor can call another constructor by using
the this() statement. Example:

class Account {
private double balance;

// 1st Constructor
public Account( double initBalance ) {
balance = initBalance;
}

// 2nd Constructor
public Account() {
this( 0.0 ); // call the 1st constructor
}
}

Answer / qim2010

Yes, by using this() syntax. E.g.

public Pet(int id) {
this.id = id; // “this” means this object
}
public Pet (int id, String type) {
this(id); // calls constructor public Pet(int id)
this.type = type; // ”this” means this object
}
