Is there any particular reason/example that why would I ever need overloaded constructors?

Why can't I just go
Pizza pizza1 = new Pizza("stuffed crust", "tomato sauce", "american cheese","N/A");

It's not necessary, you shouldn't have it

Angius•7/1/25, 7:26 PM

You can use "N/A""N/A" if you want

Or an empty string

Angius•7/1/25, 7:26 PM

Or make it nullable

Angius•7/1/25, 7:26 PM

(as a side note, use

string

string

instead of StringString)

あるホちゃんOP•7/1/25, 7:26 PM

so nobody actually uses this in programming?

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:26 PM

What do you mean by this

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:26 PM

Overloading yes

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:27 PM

The way you're doing it no

Angius•7/1/25, 7:27 PM

It's useful and used when needed

Angius•7/1/25, 7:27 PM

In your case it doesn't seem needed

is there any exsamples?

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:27 PM

Don't use a primary constructor, and have one constructor call the other to avoid duplicating code

(i still haven't learn what's a primary constructor yet, maybe I'll comeback later)

There's no primary constructor there?

Angius•7/1/25, 7:30 PM

Just wonky indentation

Ccanton7 There's no primary constructor there?

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:32 PM

I misread but I'm now even more upset

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:33 PM

Basic formatting goes a long way to make code readable

did i get something wrong? i'm following this tutorial

When it comes to just learning, tutorials often don't give you real-life useful examples

Angius•7/1/25, 7:35 PM

So you did everything right regarding constructor overloading

Angius•7/1/25, 7:35 PM

You just didn't format your code correctly, which confused Jimmacle

Angius•7/1/25, 7:36 PM

And constructor overloading is not necessarily the best way to do something like the pizza here

Jimmacle•7/1/25, 7:36 PM

The red line covering the closing brace also didn't help

Is there any particular reason/example that why would I ever need overloaded constructors?
