Multiple Constructors in Python

Multiple constructors are required when we want to have a different behavior of an object to perform the different actions on the object of a class.
The different behavior of an object can be achieved by providing the different parameters based on the type of parameters, number of parameters.
We can have a different behavior of an object and the multiple constructors by using concept of the positional arguments(*args).
Look at the below example to illustrate the behavior of multiple constructors using *args.
In the example when length of arguments it 1, it behaves like one constructor with one argument __init__(self, roll_number), similarly when length of arguments is 2 it behaves like the another constructor with 2 arguments __init__(self, roll_number, name).
