b'coz their implicit return is class-type itself

The constructor is getting called when ever the object for the class is created.In java or c++  the object is created like as follows

class A

{

//some code

}//class ends

in java   A obj = new A();

in c++ A obj;    .

giving return type for a constructor is an syntax error.

There is no place holder for capturing the return value.
