If the programmer does not supply a constructor for an instantiable class, most languages will provide a ''[[default constructor]]''.

The behavior of the default constructor is language dependent.
It may initialize data members to zero or other same values, or it may do nothing at all.
In C++ a default constructor is required if an array of class objects is to be created.
Other languages (Java, C#, VB .NET) have no such restriction.
