Illegal Recursive Constructor Invocation

< Prev
Next >

Why will the following code segment fail to compile?

public class RecursiveConstructor {
    public RecursiveConstructor() {
        this();
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new RecursiveConstructor();
    }
}
A

The main method instantiates RecursiveConstructor incorrectly.

B

The class is missing a proper base case for recursion.

C

The constructor calls itself recursively using ‘this()’, which is not allowed and causes a compilation error.

D

The recursive call in the constructor lacks a termination condition.
