Method or Construtor ?

[Kay Liew]

I know Question 1 is a contructor but what about Question 2 ? I am think it is method since it has public void eventhough with the same name as the class. Is my assumption correct ? ya ya i know this is basic.

 
class Animal {//start Animal class
 
Animal(){}  //Question 1
 
public void Animal(){  /Question 2
 
System.out.println("Animal method");
 
}
 
public void eat(){   //protected is find and private will die
 
System.out.println("Animal eat");
 
}
 
} //end Animal class
 

Thanks,
k

Yes, the first one is constructor, and the second one is a method. However, you'll get the warning from the compiler, that the second one uses the same name as constructor

[Gopinathan Raju]

yep. you are correct. thats a public void method.

[Kay Liew]

Ok thank you for the confirmation. and nope .. i don't get warning by using the same class name as a method. Actually that is the reason i asked.

since methods and constructors reside in different namespaces,the complier do not complanin
