Like C++, Java also supports "Copy
While copy constructors are usually abbreviated copy ctor or cctor, they have nothing to do with class constructors used in [[.NET]] using the same abbreviation.

== Syntax ==
* [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[C++]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[ActionScript]], {{nowrap|[[PHP]] 4}}, and [[MATLAB]] have a naming convention in which constructors have the same name as the class with which they are associated.
* In [[Rust (programming language)|Rust]], the convention for the "constructor" is to name it <code>new</code>.
* In PHP 5, a recommended name for a constructor is <code>__construct</code>. For backwards compatibility, a method with the same name as the class will be called if <code>__construct</code> method can not be found. Since PHP 5.3.3, this works only for non-namespaced classes.<ref name="php5cpnstructor">[http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Constructors and Destructors], from PHP online documentation</ref>
* In PHP 7, you should always name the constructor as <code>__construct</code>. Methods with the same name as the class will trigger an E_DEPRECATED level error.<ref name="php5cpnstructor"
* In [[Perl]], constructors are, by convention, named "new" and have to do a fair amount of object creation.
* In [[Moose perl|Moose object system]] for Perl, constructors (named ''new'') are automatically created and are extended by specifying a ''BUILD'' method.

== Memory organization ==
In Java, C#, and VB .NET, the constructor creates reference type objects on the heap, whereas primitive types (such as <code>int</code>, <code>double</code>, etc.) are stored on the [[Stack-based memory allocation|stack]] (though some languages allow for manually allocating objects on the stack through a <code>stackalloc</code> modifier). VB .NET and C# also allow the use of the <code>new</code> operator to create value type objects, but these value type objects are created on the stack regardless of whether the operator is used or not. In these languages, object destruction occurs when the object has no references and then gets destroyed by the garbage collector.
In C++, objects are created on the stack when the constructor is invoked without the <code>new</code> operator, and created on the heap when the constructor is invoked with the <code>new</code> operator (which returns a pointer to the object). Stack objects are deleted implicitly when they go out of scope, while heap objects must be deleted implicitly by a destructor or explicitly by using the

Line 83 ⟶ 76:
In [[C++]], the name of the constructor is the name of the class. It returns nothing. It can have parameters like any [[Method (computer programming)|member function]]. Constructor functions are usually declared in the public section, but can also be declared in the protected and private sections, if the user wants to restrict access to them.
The constructor has two parts. First is the [[initializer list]] which follows the [[parameter (computer science)|parameter list]] and before the method body. It starts with a colon and entries are comma-separated. The initializer list is not required, but offers the opportunity to provide values for data members and avoid separate assignment statements. The initializer list is required if you have ''const'' or reference type data members, or members that do not have parameterless constructor logic. Assignments occur according to the order in which data members are declared (even if the order in the initializer list is different).<ref>https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1242830/constructor-initialization-list-evaluation-order Constructor</ref> The second part is the body, which is a normal method body enclosed in curly brackets. It is generally cheaper and better practice to use the initializer list as much as possible, and only use the constructor body for non-assignment operations and assignments where the initializer list cannot be used or is otherwise insufficient.
C++ allows more than one constructor. The other constructors must have different parameters. Additionally constructors which contain parameters which are given default values, must adhere to the restriction that not all parameters are given a default value. This is a situation which only matters if there is a default constructor. The constructor of a [[base class]] (or base classes) can also be called by a derived class. Constructor functions are not inherited and their addresses cannot be referenced. When memory allocation is required, the ''new'' and ''delete'' operators are called implicitly.

==== C# static constructor ====
In [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], a ''static constructor'' is a static data initializer.<ref name="Albahari">{{cite book |last=Albahari |first=Joseph |title= C# 10 in a Nutshell |publisher= O'Reilly |isbn= 978-1-098-12195-2}}</ref>{{rp|111-112}} Static constructors are also called ''class constructors''. Since the actual method generated has the name ''.cctor'' they are often also called "cctors".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ericlippert.com/2013/02/06/static-constructors-part-one/ |title=Fabulous Adventures in Coding |publisher=Eric Lippert |date=2013-02-06|access-date=2014-04-05}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oAcCRKd6EZgC&pg=PA222 |title=Expert .NET 2.0 IL Assembler |publisher=APress |date=2006-01-01|isbn=9781430202233 |access-date=2014-04-05}}</ref>
Static constructors allow complex static variable initialization.<ref>
Static constructors are called implicitly when the class is first accessed. Any call to a class (static or constructor call), triggers the static constructor execution.
Static constructors are [[thread safe]] and implement a [[singleton pattern]]. When used in a [[generic programming]] class, static constructors are called at every new generic instantiation one per type.<ref name=Skeet>{{cite book |last=Skeet|first=Jon|title= C# in Depth |date=23 March 2019 |publisher= Manning |isbn= 978-1617294532}}</ref>{{rp|38}}<ref name="Albahari

A constructor taking zero number of arguments is called a "no-arguments" or "no-arg" constructor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/constructors.html|title= Providing Constructors for Your Classes |publisher=Oracle Corporation|date=2013|access-date=2013-12-20}}</ref>
=== JavaScript/TypeScript ===
As of ES6, [[JavaScript]] has direct constructors like many other programming languages. They are written as such
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
class FooBar {
constructor(baz) {
this.baz = baz;
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
Line 387 ⟶ 390:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
const foo = new FooBar('7');
</syntaxhighlight>
Line 394 ⟶ 397:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
function FooBar (baz) {
this.baz = baz;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
This is instantiated the same way as above.
The [[TypeScript]] equivalent of this would be:
<syntaxhighlight lang="typescript">
class FooBar {
baz: string;
constructor(baz: string) {
this.baz = baz;
}
}
const foo: FooBar = new FooBar('7');
</syntaxhighlight>
=== Object Pascal ===
Line 428 ⟶ 444:
=== OCaml ===
In [[OCaml]], there is one constructor. Parameters are defined right after the class name. They can be used to initialize instance variables and are accessible throughout the class. An anonymous hidden method called <code>initializer</code> allows to evaluate an expression immediately after the object has been built.<ref>
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">
Line 536 ⟶ 552:
=== Python ===
In [[Python (programming language)|Python]], constructors are defined by one or both of <code>__new__</code> and <code>__init__</code> methods. A new instance is created by calling the class as if it were a function, which calls the <code>__new__</code> and <code>__init__</code> methods. If a constructor method is not defined in the class, the next one found in the class's Method Resolution Order will be called.<ref name="auto">
In the typical case, only the <code>__init__</code> method need be defined. (The most common exception is for immutable objects.)
<syntaxhighlight lang="
def __init__(self, value: int) -> None:
print("Initialising instance...")
self.payload: int = value
if __name__ == "__main__":
exampleInstance: ExampleClass = ExampleClass(42)
print(exampleInstance.payload)
</syntaxhighlight>
This prints:
<pre>
Creating new instance...
Initialising instance...
42
</pre>
Classes normally act as [[Factory (object-oriented programming)|factories]] for new instances of themselves, that is, a class is a callable object (like a function), with the call being the constructor, and calling the class returns an instance of that class. However the <code>__new__</code> method is permitted to return something other than an instance of the class for specialised purposes. In that case, the <code>__init__</code> is not invoked.<ref

=== Rust ===
[[Rust (programming language)|Rust]] does not have constructors in the sense of object-oriented programming, but often structs have a <code>new()</code> method that essentially acts as a constructor. The return type is usually indicated as <code>Self</code>.
<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">
struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
impl Point {
pub fn new(x: i32, y: i32) -> Self {
Point { x, y }
}
}
fn main() {
let p: Point = Point::new(10, 20);
println!("Point is at ({}, {})", p.x, p.y);
}
</syntaxhighlight>
