-A constructor doesn’t have a return type.
-The name of the constructor must be the same as the name of the class.
-Unlike methods, constructors are not considered members of a class.
-A constructor is called automatically when a new instance of an object is created.
Constructors are mostly used to initialize the variables of a class, without using an extra setter-method.
