How does Class::new work?

[split robin]

What does ::new do exactly? And, if there is more than one constructor in the class that ::new is operating on, what happens?

in particular, say i had something like this:

class Foo {
  private final int x;
  private final int y;

  public Foo(int x, int y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }

  public Foo(int x) {
    this(x, 0);
  }
}

what would Foo::new do?

which constructor does it use? is there a way to specify?

Well, I am pretty sure you can't use it outside of the stream api, because you would need 2 values to be able to pass it in. And like I explained n the bot commands channel
