Fundamentals Of Object-Oriented Programming: Java and IntelliJ - Constructors & Access Specifiers (Setters and Getters)

The video tutorial covers the concept of constructors in object-oriented programming, explaining how they are used to create objects from class blueprints. It introduces encapsulation, a key OOP principle, and discusses access specifiers that control data access. The tutorial also covers inheritance, another OOP pillar, and explains how accessors and mutators (getters and setters) work. A practical example using a Date class demonstrates default, parameterized, and overloaded constructors, showing how to manage data and methods within a class.

What are accessors and mutators, and how do they relate to private variables?

What is a parameterized constructor and how does it differ from a default constructor?

Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example.
