Software Development Fundamentals — Question 34

The purpose of a constructor in a class is to:

Answer options

• A. Initialize an object of that class.
• B. Release the resources that the class holds.
• C. Create a value type.
• D. Inherit from the base class.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a constructor is specifically designed to initialize an object of a class when it is created. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to resource management, value type generation, and inheritance respectively, which are not the primary functions of a constructor.
