Reading Class Documentation

Reading and Using Constructors

• A class may have multiple constructors if the parameters are different. (Example: AquaFish)
• Constructors always have the same name as the class. You construct an object with the new keyword and the constructor.
• The simplest constructors have no parameters.

  Clock Class Documentation:

  

  Constructing a Clock object:

  Clock myClock = new Clock();

• The class documentation might specify parameters, giving the type and a descriptive name for each parameter. When constructing an object, provide parameters of the correct type. (Names do not matter.)

  Aquarium Class Documentation:

  

  Constructing an Aquarium object:

  Aquarium fishTank = new Aquarium(600, 400);

  AquaFish Class Documentation:

  

  Constructing an AquaFish object:

  AquaFish fish1 = new AquaFish(fishTank);
AquaFish fish2 = new AquaFish(fishTank, Color.RED);
