// the class
public class MyClass {
    // the constructor
    public MyClass() {
        // do something
    }

    // the method with the same name as constructor
    public void MyClass() {
        // do something
    }
}

In other program, you can use the class like this:
    // call the constructor
    MyClass myclass = new MyClass();
    // call the method public void MyClass()
    myclass.MyClass();

The java complier allows this kind of usage, but it
looks confusing(It is not allowed in C++).

If you forgot to implement the constructor(with a
"void" before the method name), the code is also
allowed. But the default constructor does nothing,
so you maybe think it strange.

I think the java complier should check this situation,
and do not allow the method with the same name as
the constructor.
