Constructor DelegationConstructor Delegation

Constructor delegation, also known as constructor chaining or constructor forwarding, is a concept in object-oriented programming where one constructor of a class calls another constructor from the same class to perform common initialization tasks.

Syntax of Constructor Delegation

Constructor delegation is usually used within the syntax of an initialization list. It involves the use of the colon (:) operator, followed by the constructor you want to delegate to, and then any additional arguments or parameters that need to be passed.

code example

While it's not necessary to utilize initialization lists for constructor delegation, it is generally considered preferable. However, if there's a specific reason to avoid them, you can opt to call an overloaded constructor from within another constructor instead.

cpp

main.cpp

Be caution

Potential infinite recursion may occur when using constructor delegation. Ensure constructors are structured to avoid recursive invocation loops

Constructors delegation provide multiple benefits in object-oriented programming and are convenient to use, despite any initial complexity they may seem to have.

Reusability Reuse initialization code, reducing redundancy in class constructors.
Maintenance Changes to initialization logic only require updates in the one constructor.
Clarity Clearly indicating the primary constructor and its delegates.
