The following code does not work because the compiler says that the function AnotherNewClass() does not exist? Why is that? Isnt a constructor just a function? Why cant a constructor function without a reference to a particular object?

class AnotherNewClass{

public AnotherNewClass(){
System.out.println("Hello World!!");

}

public AnotherNewClass(String arg){

System.out.println("Hello World!!");

}


public static void main(String []args){



AnotherNewClass("Hello World!!");



}

}

It can, but you will need the new keyword.

new AnotherNewClass("Hello World!!");
