+Constructors are functions or methods in a program that creates an object of a class and can also initialize attributes for the object. The object is an instance of the class and can perform the methods/functions defined within the class.
 
-If an object copies from a class, the what's the point? I should be able to store data in it right?

Think of it as the creation of a new attribute, not unlike the declaration of a new data type.
 
 When you write a class without any constructor, the Java compiler creates a default constructor :
