Constructor Functions
Hi,

Why Constructor function has same name as Class? Is there any valid point ? Why it should not have different name?

A contructor function has the same name as the class because it is to be called when the object is created. This is done so that you don't have to call a seperate function at that time, just create the object and it calls this function automatically.

if you donīt like it, try another programming language.

in delphi eg. you can name the constructor / destructor whatever you want... the result is, that unlike C++, you have to tell which constructor to use:

myObject:=TClass.Create();
