It is understood that a class can have many constructors.... (Question continued below):

If there are multiple objects instantiated in the class , can they all have different constructors like below: using System; namespace Sololearn { class Program { class cat { public cat() { Console.WriteLine("Meow"); } public cat1() { Console.WriteLine("Meow1"); } } static void Main(string[] args) { cat c = new cat(); cat c1 = new cat1(); } } }

You can have 'n' number of constructors in a class but there could be only 1 default constructor and the rest must be overloaded. To get some simple operations or assignments done, you can use constructor chaining. It basically calls one constructor from another. Here is a simple example. namespace SoloLearn { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Cat c1 = new Cat("Meow is called first"); } } } class Cat{ public Cat(){ Console.WriteLine("Meow"); } public Cat(String s):this(){ Console.WriteLine(s); } }

There is only one class cat so creating a new object of class cat1 which doesn't exist will give an error

Yes, but the constructors have to have different forms and the same name i.e. as follows: class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { cat c = new cat(); cat c1 = new cat(1); } class cat { public cat() { Console.WriteLine("Meow"); } public cat(int c) { Console.WriteLine("Meow1"); } } }
