RealEstate v = new RealEstate();
I have used this new
keyword with RealEstate()
. I know new
allocates memory and initializes the memory using the RealEstate
class constructor.
What is the JVM doing here?
new
operator doesn't actually uses the help from constructor to allocate memory. It has nothing to do with constructor. Basically Java's version of malloc
is new
.
new
operator:
Constructor is executed separately to perform any operations during initialization, like allocating values to objects and variables. If no Constructor is defined, then compiler will create default constructor and will allocate default values:
The following chart summarizes the default values for several data types. source
Data Type Default Value (for fields)
byte 0
short 0
int 0
long 0L
float 0.0f
double 0.0d
char '\u0000'
String null
any object null
boolean false
So, new
operator only allocates memory and returns reference to that memory.
See the documentation :
The new operator instantiates a class by allocating memory for a new object and returning a reference to that memory. The new operator also invokes the object constructor.
