Focus: Constructor No Return Hard Constructor No Return

Advanced Practice Question

Format: Constructor No Return

What happens when you compile this code?

public class Widget {
    private int id;
    
    public void Widget(int x) {
        id = x;
    }
}

Difficulty: Hard | Topic: Constructor No Return | Cycle: 2 (Advanced)

Why This Answer?

This is NOT a constructor because it has a return type (void). Constructors never have return types. This is just a regular method named Widget.

Common Mistake

Watch Out!

Thinking a method with the class name is automatically a constructor.

AP Exam Strategy

Constructors have NO return type (not even void). If it has a return type, it's a method.

This Cycle 2 HARD question tests constructor no return. Review Unit 3 concepts to build mastery of classes & objects.

Cycle 2 questions prepare you for the hardest AP CSA exam questions.
