C#

In object-oriented programming, a constructor (sometimes shortened to ctor) in a class is a special block of statements called when an object is created, either when it is declared (statically constructed on the stack, possible in C++ but not in Java and other object-oriented languages) or dynamically constructed on the heap through the keyword "new".

A constructor is similar to an instance method, but it differs from a method in that it never has an explicit return type, it's not inherited, and usually has different rules for scope modifiers. Constructors are often distinguished by having the same name as the declaring class. Their responsibility is to initialize the object's data members and to establish the invariant of the class, failing if the invariant isn't valid. A properly written constructor will leave the object in a 'valid' state. Immutable objects must be initialized in a constructor.

by the way how come the strings ("ABC" AND "JKL") got stored in char array.

string[] parts = mystring.Split('|');
