Description​

A ConstructorSynopsis contains the syntax summary of a constructor in an object-oriented programming language. Unlike a MethodSynopsis, which it closely resembles, it may not identify a return type and the MethodName is optional (in some languages, constructor names can be generated automatically).

Processing expectations​

For the most part, the processing application is expected to generate all of the parenthesis, semicolons, commas, and so on. required in the rendered synopsis.

Children​

The following elements occur in constructorsynopsis: exceptionname, methodname, methodparam, modifier, void.
