Although a subclass inherits all of the method and variables from a parent class, it does not inherit constructors.
There are only two ways in which a class can gain a constructor; either you write the constructor, or, because you have not written any constructors, the class has a single default constructor. A parent constructor is always called to a child constructor. Like methods, constructors can call non-private constructors of its immediate superclass.
Often you define a constructor that takes arguments and you want to use those arguments to control the construction of the parent part of an object. You can invoke a particular parent class constructor as part of a child class initialization by using the keyword super from the child constructor’s first line. To control the invocation of the specific constrictor, you must provide the appropriate arguments to super ( ). When there is no call to super with arguments, the parent constructor with zero arguments is called implicitly. In this case, if there is no parent constructor with zero arguments, a complier error results.
The call to super ( ) can take any number of argument appropriate to the various constructors available in the parent class, but it must be the first statement in the constructor.
