What is the better way of writing the Constructor with 2 parameters in the following code:class Test { int x,y; Test(int a) { //Code for very complex operations will be written //in this place x=a; } Test(int a, int b) { //Code for very complex operations will be written //in this place (same code as in above constructor) x=a; y=b; } }

Test(int a, int b) {
this(a);
this.y = b;
}

Test(int a, int b)
{
this(a);
}

This is becoz assigning the value a to instance variable has already been done in one place so why to repeat it again in this constructor also.So the better way is to call the first 1 argument constructor using this keyword.
