FAQ: Learn Java: Methods - The toString() Method

Also, you raise an interesting point. Yes, we can have multiple objects within a single file in JS. Question: Do we want this? Structuring your code is very important, and Java enforces this where Javascript doesn’t

This is the full part of the reply. It’s a bit ambiguous but I believe it’s referring to having multiple objects in a single file rather than multiple constructors. To clarify, you can have multiple objects in both Java and JS, but multiple constructors only in Java. Note that objects are different from constructors.

and if java doesnt enforce it then having two constructors would be wierd bc if i printed a car for example then it would make no sense

You can have multiple constructors in Java; they have to take in different arguments so the compiler knows which constructor should be used. The following article explains this.

You refer to “printing a car.” If you have written some code and have specific questions about it and its constructors, you can post it here (please format it according to this post).
