Consider the following class definition.

public class Person {

private String name; / * missing constructor * /

}

The statement below, which is located in a method in a different class, creates a new Person object with its attribute name initialized to "Washington". Person p = new Person ("Washington");

Which of the following can be used to replace / * missing constructor * / so that the object p is correctly created?

A)

private Person ()

{

name = n;

}

B)

private Person (String n)

{

name = n;

}

C)

public Person ()

{

name = n;

}

D)

public Person (String n)

{

name = n;

}

E)

public Person (String name)

{

String n = name;

}

The correct answer to this question is "Option D".

Explanation:

In the given code, a class "Person" is declared, inside the class a private string variable is declared, in this a parameterized constructor person is declared, that accepts a string value "n" as its parameter, and inside the constructor, name variable holds parameters value, and incorrect choices can be described as follows:

Option A and Option C both were wrong because of it a default constructor. In option B, It is incorrect, because it is using a private access modifier. In option E, In the constructor parameter, a string variable name is passed, that is wrong.
