Is __init__ a constructor?

#1

If init is not a constructor, then why it is acting like the constructor?

What is the constructor in python and how it is different than init?

#2

Hey @Ujjwal.madaan, “init” is a reseved method in python classes. It is called as a constructor in object oriented terminology. This method is called when an object is created from a class and it allows the class to initialize the attributes of the class.

I hope this clears your doubt ! :+1:
Happy Learning ! :smile:

But in the video, sir says that init is not a constructor

Yeah as I said it is a reserved method in python. We inter-changeably call it constructor since it does the same role.
