Answer: Because you have included the return-type 'void' in the method declaration,
it becomes a normal method, that just happens to have the same name as the class -
so it won't get used as a constructor. Remove the 'void' and it should work.

P.S. by John: If you do not specifically define any constructors, the compiler inserts
an invisible zero parameter constructor "behind the scenes". Often this is of only
theoretical importance, but the important qualification is that you only get a default
zero parameter constructor if you do not create any of your own.
Your program used this zero parameter constructor and you saw nothing...
Q: Why we can not declare constructor as final ?

overridden.
Because constructors are never inherited and so will never have the oportunity to be
overridden, final would have no meaning to a constructor.
