In practise, I often find myself doing something like this:
public class Demo
{
private String name;
private int number;
private boolean prisoner;
public Demo(String name, int answer, boolean prisoner)
{
this.name = name;
this.number = number;
this.isPrisoner = prisoner;
}
public Demo(String name)
{
super(name, 6, true);
}
}
... and so on.
IOW there's one constructor that can set all attributes that might be set
externally and a number of others that accept fewer arguments and set
appropriate defaults for the other attributes.
