-the main difference is that a method is doing some business logic e.g. and a constructor is there to create a object on the heap memory. In the constructor you can set attributes of your object. - A constructor has no return type. - When a constructor is called and you do not call explicitly a super constructor then java will call the super constructor of the super class. (depending on what you extend your class, default is java.lang.Object) - a constructor cannot be inherited This are the main things i think Olli

third point is tricky...U are actually inheriting the constructors...only difference is that you cant override it in the subclass unlike other public methods.

Constructor declarations are not members. They are never inherited and therefore are not subject to hiding or overriding.
