Difference between Consructors and Methods?

A Constructor is a special method whose task is to initialize the object of its class. It is special because its name is the same as the class name. They do not have return types, not even void and therefore they cannot return values. They cannot be inherited, though a derived class can call the base class constructor. Constructor is invoked whenever an object of its associated class is created.

whereas Methods  refers to group of statement enclosed within curly braces{}.Its name should be other the name of class.

	Constructors	Methods
Purpose	Create an instance of a class	Group Java statements
Modifiers	Cannot be abstract, final, native, static, or synchronized	Can be abstract, final, native, static, or synchronized
Return Type	No return type, not even void	void or a valid return type
Name	Same name as the class (first letter is capitalized by convention) -- usually a noun	Any name except the class. Method names begin with a lowercase letter by convention -- usually the name of an action
This	Refers to another constructor in the same class. If used, it must be the first line of the constructor	Refers to an instance of the owning class. Cannot be used by static methods.
super	Calls the constructor of the parent class. If used, must be the first line of the constructor	Calls an overridden method in the parent class
Inheritance	Constructors are not inherited	Methods are inherited
