Creating an InstanceCreating an Instance

Circle c = new Circle();Circle c = new Circle(); The The newnew operator creates a new operator creates a new
uninitialised instance of the Classuninitialised instance of the Class The constructor method is then called, The constructor method is then called,

Initialising an InstanceInitialising an Instance
A Constructor can use arguments placed A Constructor can use arguments placed between the parentheses to perform initialisationbetween the parentheses to perform initialisation
Define a new Constructor for CircleDefine a new Constructor for Circlepublic Circle(double r) {this.r = r;}public Circle(double r) {this.r = r;} Now two ways:Now two ways:Circle c = new Circle();Circle c = new Circle();
