Can a constructor return a value? Elaborate on your answer.

A constructor does not return a value. It’s a special method in a class used for object initialization, automatically called when an object is created. Unlike regular methods, it doesn’t have a return type, not even void. Its name matches the class and can take parameters but cannot be directly invoked or reused. The absence of a return value distinguishes constructors from other member functions. However, indirectly, they do “return” the instance of the class itself.
