Constructor vs. Declaration: Where Should I Initialize My Java Variables?

Choosing Variable Initialization: Constructor vs. Declaration

When initializing variables in Java, developers can choose between initializing within the constructor or outside the constructor. This question explores the pros and cons of each approach.

Inside Constructor (Style 1):

<br>public class ME {</p>
<div class="code" style="position:relative; padding:0px; margin:0px;"><pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">private int i;

public ME() {
     this.i = 100;
}

Copy after login

}

Outside Constructor (Style 2):

<br>public class ME {</p>
<div class="code" style="position:relative; padding:0px; margin:0px;"><pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">private int i = 100;

public ME() {
}
