Does constructor return any value in Java?

No, constructor does not return any value.

• While declaring a constructor you will not have anything like return type.
• In general, Constructor is implicitly called at the time of instantiation.
• And it is not a method, its sole purpose is to initialize the instance variables.

Example

Live Demo

public class Sample{
   public Sample(){
      System.out.println("This is a constructor");
   }
   public static void main(String args[]){
      Sample obj = new Sample();
   }
}

Output

This is a constructor
