Why constructor's name is same as its class name?

Question

I would like to know why constructor's name is same as its class name.
Any idea...

Answer 1

It's because by means of the constructor, you can "construct" objects of the
same class (by "same class" read "same properties") with values that will
accomodate your needs for the work needed to be done.
For example:
   MyColor redColor = new MyColor("RED");
   MyColor greenColor = new MyColor("GREEN");
   MyColor pinkColor = new MyColor("PINK");The class "MyColor" is unique in the JVM. However it has 3 instances, created by its constructor which, minimally, would look like:
    class MyColor{
         String theColor = null;
         //Constructor
         public MyColor(String whichColor){
                  theColor = whichColor;      
   }With such a constructor, you're telling the JVM:
"Load the class MyColor and create an instance of it with the given values for its properties".
