Copy Constructor

What is a Copy Constructor?

A copy constructor allows you to create a new object as a copy of an existing object. This is particularly useful when you want to duplicate an object with the same state as another. In Java, copy constructors are user-defined since the language does not provide a default copy constructor.

• Characteristics:
  • Takes an object of the same class as a parameter.
  • Copies the values of the member variables from the passed object to the new object.
  • Ensures that the new object has the same state as the original object.
