What is the return type of a constructor in Java?

A. void

B. int

C. The same as the class name

D. String

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Constructors are special methods in Java used to create objects of a class.
They have the same name as the class itself.
Unlike other methods, constructors don't have an explicit return type.
Their job is to initialize the object's member variables (fields) with values.
Therefore, they implicitly return a reference to the newly created object.
The correct answer is option C, because it correctly states the return type is implicitly the same as the class name.

    None of the options perfectly describe the return type of a constructor, because a constructor doesn't have a return type
