Constructor Overloading in C++

Prerequisites: Constructors in C++
In C++, We can have more than one constructor in a class with same name, as long as each has a different list of arguments.This concept is known as Constructor Overloading and is quite similar to function overloading. 

• Overloaded constructors essentially have the same name (exact name of the class) and different by number and type of arguments.
• A constructor is called depending upon the number and type of arguments passed.
• While creating the object, arguments must be passed to let compiler know, which constructor needs to be called. 
  

CPP

// C++ program to illustrate
// Constructor overloading
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class construct
{

public:
    float area;

    // Constructor with no parameters
    construct()
    {
        area = 0;
    }

    // Constructor with two parameters
    construct(int a, int b)
    {
        area = a * b;
    }

    void disp()
    {
        cout<< area<< endl;
    }
};

int main()
{
    // Constructor Overloading
    // with two different constructors
    // of class name
    construct o;
    construct o2( 10, 20);

    o.disp();
    o2.disp();
    return 1;
}

Output:
