because constructor is not really a method
Hi edik, constructor is really a method but of special type. It returns the newly created object (or u may say this) implicitely.
Why constructors can't be static or final??
IMHO, Ctcrs need not be static as it works with the object creation and hence it has to work with both static and non-static fields. And regarding final, ctcrs are not inherited (just only accessible from subclass ctrs) and so never might be overridden. So no need for final.....
Hope it helps....
