Definition of Constructor

By , About.com Guide

Definition: A constructor is a class member function in C++ and C# that has the same name as the class itself.

The purpose of the constructor is to initialize all member variables when an object of this class is created. Any resources acquired such as memory or open files are typically released in the class destructor.
