Can constructors be called as normal methods?

@Morgan No, you can't. You should use setters if you want to do that.

Please define 'normal'... What do you mean? You can call a constructor without storing the returned object if this is what you want to know.

Shouldn't it be this.someRandomVariableToBeIncremented += number; ?

constructors are meant to initialise an object, but can it be called multiple times instead of recreating another method that does the exact same thing

Say, the constructor initialises the object with incrementing a variable passed on to the parenthesis //main Foo bar = new Foo(8); //constructor for class Foo Foo(int number){ this.someRandomVariableToBeIncremented += number; } after initialising this object, i want to add another 5 to the "someRandomVariableToBeIncremented" at that instance so can i call the constructor again using bar.Foo()? weird question, kinda dumb but i dont really get this part
