'''Like C++, Java also supports "Copy Constructor". But, unlike C++, Java doesn’t create a default copy constructor if you don’t write your own.Copy constructors''' define the actions performed by the compiler when copying class objects. A copyCopy constructor has one formal parameter that is the type of the class (the parameter may be a reference to an object). It is used to create a copy of an existing object of the same class. Even though both classes are the same, it counts as a conversion constructor.
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.▼
