Re: [Dev-C++] consturctor

Yes, there are a way to call a constructor late. The method is used when
creating an object in an already existing memory buffer.

However, note that a constructor normally affects all fields - and
allocates resources - so you do not want to run the constructor multiple
times.

If you want to reset the object to an initial value, you should instead
create a method init() - or possibly clear() - and have the constructor
call this method.

Once more, you do not want to call a constructor multiple times! If the
constructor allocates memory, you would get memory leaks.
