No return type means the function does not return anything. Every time you create an object the constructor is automatically called .And it does not return anything . Then why is it used? Every time you create an object ,you might want each object to start with some default values set ,which can be achieved by constructors because they are automatically called every time you are going to create an object.

Yes . Nothing should be used .Even void shouldn't be used before the constructor name .
