Can Constructor Be Overloaded in Derived Class?

Since the constructors can't be defined in derived class, it can't be overloaded too, in derived class. ... Explanation: The constructors doesn't have any return type. When we can't have return type of a constructor, overloading based on the return type is not possible. Hence only parameters can be different.

Can a constructor be overloaded?

Yes! Java supports constructor overloading. In constructor loading, we create multiple constructors with the same name but with different parameters types or with different no of parameters.

Can derived class have constructor?

In inheritance, the derived class inherits all the members(fields, methods) of the base class, but derived class cannot inherit the constructor of the base class because constructors are not the members of the class. ... Case 1: In this case, only derived class contains a constructor.
