Question

I’ll try to keep this simple.

class MyClass {
   private int x = 3;
}

vs.

class MyClass {
   private int x;
   public MyClass() {
      x = 3;
   }
}

What’s the difference between the two and how do these differences come into play?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

class MyClass {    
   private int x = 3; 
} 

is same as

class MyClass {    
   private int x; 
   MyClass() { // default constructor based on the class access modifier
     x = 3; 
   }
}
