Constructor

The reserved word constructor belongs to object-oriented programming. Constructor is a class builder method that creates the object of that class.

Example:

// class definition
type
  TKlasse = class
  end;

var
  // declare variable of type of class
  clsKlasse: TKlasse;

begin
  ...
  // create class
  clsKlasse := TKlasse.Create; 
  ...
end;
