[@tumarkussainov3115]

Beautiful tutorial! Finally, after years of coding at college, I understood in detail what Constructors are for. Even my professor wasn't able to explain the purpose of constructors is and when to use them. Just confused me even more. Thanks, you made my life easier!

[@moonside24]

I'm glad it wasn't just me. Everything I've been learning in class made sense until constructors. Was suddenly so confused and my professor just could not explain it in a way that made sense to me. This was such a great video.

[@tibettenballs4962]

its not spelt 'tutorial', its 'totorial'

[@Drunrealer]

Drink from his bottle

[@neunzehnvierundachtzig]

For real, why are MOST professors bad at what they do !?

[@MarkWesley]

@@neunzehnvierundachtzig Cuz those that can't do it, teach it.

[@Angron004]

I’m in cs 1 and am struggling a lot. I was originally an art student so switching to Cs is really hard. Your channel is a big help, thank you

[@MuhammadFarooq-iw5fu]

PERFECT. I have searched a lot of websites and videos but none offered the explanation and detail as you did.

[@francksgenlecroyant]

John is a gift to the world. Always learning new concepts from this channel

[@jingyiwang5113]

I am self-study binary search trees to prepare my computer science final. This point literally confused me again so I watched your tutorial.This is such an amazing tutorial! I am really grateful for your kindess! And your tutorials are definitely much more helpful than my professor's classes. Thanks!

[@Coccoutube]

Excellent John! Not only I consolidated what I already knew, but you also taught me how to prevent anybody from adding constants in my Constants class 🙂

[@shadowyogi3921]

I understood and learned more about constructors than I did spending two hours reading my college textbook. You will have my forever thankfulness and gratitude. Thank you a million times over

[@Tuxon24rus]

I never had such clear and useful explanations ever since I started learning Java!

[@syedminhal7404]

I've been doing Android development for almost 2 years. But never knew that I could make a constructor private. Learning many basics that I didn't knew very easily from your videos. I must say your videos are not only for beginners but also for experienced developers out there. Stay blessed!

[@user-jf3kf1ye7w]

Your tutorial is a million times easier to understand than the textbook we get at university. Thanks to your channel, I am able to understand Java a lot better and start coding myself, thank you!

[@pocalocawashere]

I've been programming for years, but constructors kind of flew over my head. I couldn't figure out how to access the class attributes, but this video made so much sense. Thanks so much!

[@chloeliu6642]

I wish I found you 2 years ago when I had so much passion to learn Java. Thank you so much for making this tutorial for free!!

[@ThaneCap]

I came here to understand constructors better, which I now have a much better understanding of, but John also cleared up several important concepts that were peripheral to constructors for me. Very nicely done and the logic progression made it very clear to follow. *subscribed* thank you!

[@landry3341]

Spent 4 years getting my CompSci and never was it this simple. It always felt convoluted whenever I tried to write a class and constructor and I would get confused. Don't know why the switch has just been flipped but man was this simple and easy to understand! Your info is great!

[@Garrison86]

Thank you very much for this content, you explain it as clear as possible! I've watched other videos and they skip past parts, not explaining any of the syntax, much appreciated

[@waimustimakafor5864]

Just found your channel and have learned so much in 30 minutes of videos. Thank you so much for the free educational content. Not all heroes wear capes.

[@mnsportshell]

Thank you. You explained it better in 6 minutes than two emails to my instructor after sitting through a 2 hour lecture.

[@gigachard5690]

Java has been tough to pick up, these constructors are no exception. Your videos really help me out. The hard part so far has been finding good projects to experiment with because although videos like these make it click it's hard to make it stick.

[@avian9033]

John, you have sincerely helped me learn this stuff so much that I am eternally grateful. Thank you, you saint!

[@findlestick]

Great, I was actually thinking about this today. That when I instantiated an object, I had a constructor when I hadn’t even created one in its class. I was confounded. But now I have an answer, thank you. Also, your slower speech in this video helped in understanding things even more clearer than normal. Sometimes it takes the brain a few extra seconds for the terminology to click when you’re just learning all the jargon. 😊

[@CrabtreeGuitar]

It's heartwarming that it so often seems the very best teachers also have the most generously priced courses.

[@TechAdventurer]

Thanks for making this videos John, I'm an Associate S.E and I have to learn Java for a new role. Coming from a Javascript background Java has been a little confusing. However, your videos have been amazingly helpful for learning the "ins n' outs" of Java. Please continue to make these videos!

[@micleh]

Thanks for covering this topic in such depth and even considering the "edge" cases. I think they are essential if you want to deep-dive into the topic.

[@conangoinham]

you're a ninja. Very succinct description that helped clear this one up. Plenty of info out there about how to write constructors... yours was the first one that made it clear WHEN to use them. So crucial.

Since the college, I had doubts about constructor!! Your video helped a lot! I also have been seeing multiple projects that have the class Constants, and never thought about the private constructor, now I was able to understand that!! Thanks a lot for the video and cheers from Brazil!!

[@karim8443]

You really have the best tutorials. I've learned more with you than in an entire semester. Thank you for real

[@beastinfection638]

You're amazing at explaining concepts. Much better than other CS tutorial youtubers that I watched to understand constructors

[@ilikniram1]

Brilliant. Always my first stop for concept elucidation. Thumbs up mate!

[@unicaraanimations6935]

How do you not have more views? Constructors have given me such a hard time and yet your video was the solution! Thank you very much!

[@imluctor5997]

i needed this video so much before starting with my project, it gives me so much logic to use. Thank you man

[@keanaleong7745]

3 Minutes in and I already understood! Thank you for making the world of coding a better place :)

[@govnorpayne8648]

This helps so much. It’s literally the best explanation I’ve seen and made so much stuff make sense

[@pacemconcord4570]

This vid explained better in 7 min what my proff couldn't in 6 weeks. I thank you sir.

[@chadmiller9379]

Excellent, quick, and concise. Thank you!

[@nadabaydoun6701]

making a constructor private is so useful and new to me, thanks a lot for the amazing content!

[@GUYX10]

Great tutorial! very well paced and written. I don't even use java and was able to clearly understand what a constructor is and what it's used for. thanks! subbed

[@cuzzo9146]

You’re amazing John. Truly under appreciated and deserve way more subs

[@OverrideTips]

the most underrated Channel of all time john, don't ever STOP!

[@ahmedmukhtar6961]

After watching 3 different youtube videos on java constructors i was still making syntax errors. He broke it down so easily that i was able to comprehend and apply the knowledge correctly without any errors.

[@MrDarshD]

Thank you so much for sharing this, John! Love the examples and the way you describe everything! 🐶🐱

[@lateve6243]

Thank you so much for your videos. I taking my first java course in university and our lecturer might be a brillant post-graduate student but he's a poor vulgarizator. You video are so concise and simple, they help me so much to digest and understand the concepts shown in my class. I'm currently studying for my midterms and your videos are straight to the point.

[@kerwinso]

You have blown all other Java teachers I've encountered online out of the proverbial water. The Seinfeld references are a nice bonus. Subscribed!

[@Nykster]

you perfectly explained the "this" keyword and deserve a follow!

[@exitspree]

Incredibly clear and concise. These are the kind of tutorials I'd love to see way more of. Thanks!

[@stephendavol5589]

Great work at explaining details. Thanks a lot!

[@rich_unruly]

This literally just saved me. Thank you!!!

[@user-ec9jj8rz1m]

life saver , i have been learning java for the past two weeks and it was super confusing language specially the syntax it was weird for me that every thing has to be inside a class , however your tutorials were a real change

[@aidoka2000]

glad I watched till the end and learned about a case about private constructor :)

[@yuvalbachar7721]

thank you so much!! you really manage to explain the material so good!

[@jasonwood5024]

Thank you! These tutorials are helping greatly with my first college java course.

[@hadibq]

Thanks John, Very clear! indeed! that was a smart way to put name=name to show the "this" use.

[@TheMondele]

Thank you for your time and effort put into this.

[@faraaz144]

Helped me understand classes and constructors in Dart. Thank you, a whole lot!

[@michaelharrington5860]

You have a talent for teaching. Your content is helping me through my Java coding bootcamp

[@singularity3555]

You explained this so well! Thank you so much.

[@zb2747]

Clear and concise explanation - thank you!

[@kritikadhawan6299]

Thank you so much. I was finding a perfect explanation for constructors and you explained it very well.♥️

[@colinskinner8477]

This was incredibly clear and helpful. Thank you!

[@TACJOC]

Slowly but surely it’s getting better

[@flyingwaterbear5707]

Thank you so much for this video! It helped me understand constructors a lot better than my java class

[@mizaelgaytan7109]

Thanks, after years I finally understood them! :D

[@addibro4284]

Very well explained! I have a Java exam in 3 days, and this really helped me understand the reasoning behind constructors!

[@adrianlowery4764]

John, you deserve the world, my dude

[@PieMongo]

Amazing content as always! Will you ever be diving into more advanced stuff, like maybe generics and functional programming in java?

[@JuliusIkebiagbo]

YOU AMAZE ME BY YOUR LEVEL OF SIMPLICITY. AM JUST WATCHING YOUR VIDEO AND AM SMILING. WHAT IT TAKES MY PROFESSOR HOURS TO TEACH ME AND NOT STILL UNDERSTAND IT, EVEN CAUSING ME HEADACHE, YOU MAKE IT SO CLEAR IN MINUTES. SOMETIMES AM TEMPTED TO STAY AT HOME AND WATCH KZbin INSTEAD OF GOING TO CLASS. BUT OBVIOUSLY, I CAN'T STAY HOME LOL. THANKS BRO

[@gulzaijawid4791]

Thanks for such a best and clear video you are posting for free.

[@ivoperes674]

Thank you for this informative and well presented tutorial!

[@MrSnapatya]

Awesome video! Helps me understand what I was reading in my text book much better!

[@LTZMSYAL]

The trick for the Constants class.. John you need an award bro

[@user-sf9gs2pg1b]

This was super helpful, thank you. I was getting confused in my class.

[@wussly813]

From one John to another, thank you my brother in coding. This is all very new to me and your clear teaching is definitely helping me understand this core concepts!

[@TWVVermin]

I just learned about this today and I didnt fully understand some stuff, but with your help in this video I could fill those spots that were blank, thank you.

[@JohnnyRabbitQC]

Wow you explained it so well! Thank you!!!

[@noobnok]

The right video that I was lookin' for❤❤❤❤

[@jona324jona324]

amazing stuff! two hours of classes in just 7 mins

[@videoventures6571]

thank you never really understood constructors until now

[@omaralhussari6607]

Thank you John for your efforts!

[@josec.6504]

Clear and to the point... Great tutorial

[@uselessvids5872]

Thanks a lot for this my friend. This means a lot for us. Your explanations are very clear.

[@clairenovak7779]

So helpful and really approachable in demonstration.

[@tytuz1510]

Thank you a lot! I have been struggeling with how to use a consttuctor and what it even is used for. Your 7min video made that absolutely clear. I liked en subscribed! :) :)

[@user-zp4no9qs7f]

Very clear video! Thank you, John!

[@futurecyborg_]

wow i literally understood this after one video, when i felt so lost after class... thank you!!!!

[@mithunt9178]

Thanks a lot! All of my doubts are clear :) Hoping you make more videos on java and make them a new playlist.

[@SuperDarkknight888]

Some of this still confuses me but i followed most of it , thank you !

[@user-xb7rh1sd4f]

Good Info and examples. thank you!

[@dsnewby]

Thank you so much for this! You deserve way more traffic on your channel than as is. I'm sure this will happen in the foreseeable future.

[@goranstankovski]

Hello John Your explanations are amazing. You go straight to the point. I must repeat the video or set the playback speed to slower to be able to get all the info ypu are providing. All the best!

[@fantasy9960]

Wow, thank you ! You made this topic so clear and easy to understand! Really appreciate your effort! :)

[@danquackenbush6980]

Your explanations are excellent, I've watched two different professors give lectures on this same subject, with a bit more mixed in, but your 8-minute video was more effective for me.

[@lonelycommunist267]

Wow I just realised constructors are not complicated at all. Thanks to this man.

[@pacemconcord4570]

The best way to teach coding, is to code using arguments and show what the result is. You totally nailed it.

[@rajeshkumar-oo1nd]

I really enjoyed the content and the presentation. Thanks man this helps me a lot

[@agoktugaydin]

great tutorial. thanks John!

[@eyewas9245]

I've been learning programming for about 3 years now and I must say, John has been the most clear and helpful teacher I've found on youtube so far. I greatly appreciate you brother! Thank you so much!!

[@38Tugay]

lol i learn for 1 week and I am at constructors already

[@neunzehnvierundachtzig]

​@@38Tugay Good for you, But Difference is he can actually code. Cut down your arrogance, knowledge will never go over experience

[@38Tugay]

​@@neunzehnvierundachtzig I must concede. That comment 2 weeks ago was unnecessary and probably had no other purpose than making me feel good about my own effort. Thank you for reminding me of my rude behaviour

[@clickbait1050]

Great video! Please keep making more!

[@nemaianand9125]

helped me out a lots tons of value thanks!

[@zehrairkicatal2156]

Constructors Perfectly Are Explained.Many Thanks

[@findlestick]

A video with all the different types of casting would be useful. Especially for objects.

[@namelessqueen2918]

This was super helpfull! thank you so much.
