java构造方法什么意思_这种java类的构造方法究竟是什么意思？这么写的目的到底是什么？...

package meta;

public class BirthDate {

private int day = 1;

private int month = 1;

private int year = 1900;

public BirthDate(int day ,int month,int year){

this.day = day;

this.month = month;

this.year = year;

}

public BirthDate(BirthDate date){

this.day = date.day;

this.month = date.month;

this.year = date.year;

}

public BirthDate addDays(int add_days){

BirthDate date1 = new BirthDate(this);

//构造方法用this 作为参数调用

date1.day = date1.day + add_days;

return date1;

}

public static BirthDate addDays2(BirthDate date1,int add_days){

date1.day = date1.day + add_days;

return date1;

}

public static void printDate(BirthDate date){

System.out.println(date.year + " " + date.month + " " + date.day);

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

BirthDate date0 = new BirthDate(3,5,1988);

printDate(date0);

date0 = date0.addDays(7);

printDate(date0);

date0 = addDays2(date0,4);

printDate(date0);

}

}

第一，构造方法public BirthDate(BirthDate date)这种调用自身类类型作为参数究竟是什么意思？目的何在？

第二，BirthDate date1 = new BirthDate(this); 这里的this又作为了参数目的是什么？
