Hi ,

I am not sure but i think there is a difference between a zero argument constructor given by a developer and the default constuctor made by Java compiler if no constuctor is given inside a class .


Can anybody of you help in understanding the difference between the two .

thanks is advance

Look at all the sentences which seem true and question them.

If you define one yourself, it can be public, protected, private, or default, and of course, it can contain arbitrary code. If you leave it up to the compiler to define one, it will be public if the class is public, or default-protected otherwise, and contain no code. But aside from that, there's no difference.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
