Default Constructor:

A default constructor is automatically created by the compiler if no other constructors are defined in a class and initializes the object's instance variables with default values.

Arguments:

Arguments are the actual values passed into methods or constructors when they are called.

Overloading Constructors: Overloading constructors means having multiple constructors in a class with different sets of parameters, allowing objects to be created in various ways.
