English term or phrase: Default Constructor

When an array of object is instantiated, the default constructor (and only the default constructor) of each member is invoked automatically. If you define no constructors at all, the compiler will generate a default constructor for you. But if you define one or more constructors, none of which is a default constructor (i.e., constructor taking no arguments) —object arrays of this class cannot be instantiated. So whenever you define a class constructor, make sure to define a default constructor as well, unless you purposely want to avoid creation of arrays of that class.

Constructor por defecto

Explanation:
En programación orientada a objetos el "Constructor" es el método que se utiliza para crear una instancia de un objeto. Para el caso en que no se defina un constructor específico para un tipo de objeto determinado, siempre existirá un "Constructor por defecto" que permita instanciar un objeto de ese tipo.
