- A constructor that takes a single argument of a type other than
- the class itself is essentially converting the object from its
- current type to the class type. For this reason, constructors
- that take a single argument of a type other than the class are
- called conversion constructors. A constructor that takes an
- argument with the type of the class is a copy constructor.
