For example:
1 class rectangle
2 {
3 int length,breadth,area, perimeter;
4 rectangle()
5 {
6 length=5;
7 breadth=2;
8 }
9 void cal()
10 {
11 area = length * breadth;
12 perimeter = 2*(length+breadth);
13 }
14 void display ()
15 { System.out.println("Area of Rectangle: " + area);
16 System.out.println("Perimeter of Rectangle: " + perimeter);
17 }

20 {
21 rectangle ob = new rectangle();
22 ob.cal();
23 ob.display();

Copy Constructor
The copy constructor is a special type of constructor that is used to create an object by initializing it
with previously created object of the same class. Thus, in one word it duplicates an object. The different
ways to initialize the instance variables of one object into another in Java are as follows:
By using a constructor
By assigning the values of one object into another
By Using a Constructor
Here, since object is passed as a parameter, instance variables of the object are copied to the instance
variable of the current object.
