I'm not sure what you are asking. Why can't you use another class name? Or why do you have to use this syntax? ClassName varName = new ClassName(); That syntax is just how constructors work in Java. You can also use a factory: ClassName varName = MyClassFactory.create(); There are some other ways as well (using reflection, etc). Serialization for example. Most of the others rely on Constructors though.

Yup...you interpreted it right.... but still its not clear to me that why constructor works this way. I mean there must be a reson developers kept the syntax this way...? I just want that reason..... please can you explain it to me...😁

Well, sometimes you may have inheritance so you want the left side to be a different type. For example, HashMap implements Set and you really only care that it's a Set. So you may use this type of declaration: Set<String> names = new HashSet<>(); The new keyword is what tells the JVM to allocate memory for a new HashSet. Sometime down the road, you may want to use a different type of Set, for instance, a TreeSet. Then you just have to change one line to change the implementation: Set<String> names = new TreeSet<>();
