Constructor is a method used to initialize the attributes of the class.

1. It will be called automatically whenever an object is created.
2. Constructor always declared in the public section of the class.
3. Constructor doesn't return any value.

There are 2 types of constructor
Static Constructor:
It is declared using the 'class_constructor' keyword.
It cannot contain any parameters and exceptions.

Instance Constructor:
It is declared using 'constructor' keyword.
They can contain only importing parameters and exceptions.

  DATA ob TYPE REF TO cl_main.
