A constructor is similar to method and it is invoked at the time creating an object of the class, it is generally used to initialize the instance variables of a class. The constructors have same name as their class and, have no return type.Parameterized constructorsA parameterized constructor accepts parameters with which you can initialize the instance variables. Using parameterized constructor, you can initialize the class variables dynamically at the time of instantiating the class with distinct values.Syntaxpublic class Sample{    Int i;    public sample(int i){       this.i = i;    } }Examplepublic class Test {    String ...

Given an array of 0, 1 and 2 sort the element in an order such that all the zeros come first before 1 and all the 2’s in the end. We have to sort all the elements of the array in-place.We can solve this problem using DNF (Dutch National Flag) Sorting Algorithm. For example, Input-1 −arr[ ]= {2, 0, 0, 1, 2, 1 }Output −0 0 1 1 2 2Explanation − Sorting the given array of elements containing 0, 1 and 2 using the DNF Sorting Algorithm, it will print the output as {0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2}.Input-2 −arr[ ...
