question about maths class

[Kartik Mahadevan]

Hi
Why r we not able to make statements like

Maths a = new Maths();

I assume that constructors r private but is there a way in which we can access them.

The math class cannot be instantiated, it consists of a bunch of static methods

Hi
but is it necessary that classes which have a bunch of static methods cannot be initialized.

The java.lang.Math class has no public constructors, deliberately, simply because it would make no sense to have a java.lang.Math object. There are some other classes like this: java.lang.System is one.

Why do you want to do this?

[Kartik Mahadevan]

Sir
I just wanted to check that if i make a class and make it's constuctors private nobody could make objects of that class.

Thanks

i think another advantage of a class having a private constructor and static methods is, it saves memory as it doesn't go on the heap.

You can do that by just creating such a class of your own, and simple checking if it is possible, no?
