java - Is it necessary to add a constructor all the time in child class -
this question has answer here:
- does subclass need have constructor? 4 answers
i creating child class extending parent class.
my parent class
public class bike { public int gear, speed; public bike(int gear, int speed){ this.gear = gear; this.speed = speed; } public void applybreak(int decrement){ speed -= decrement; } public void speedup(int increment){ speed += increment; } }
my child class
public class mountainbike extends bike { public mountainbike(int gear, int speed) { super(gear, speed); // todo auto-generated constructor stub } public static void main(string[] args) { // todo auto-generated method stub } }
but here in base class if not use constructor throwing error. questions
- is necessary add constructor time in child class.
- if yes , if no error means.
it pretty simple:
- each , constructor must call constructor first statement - either within same class, or super class
- when don't write put constructor in class, java compiler creates empty default constructor calls
super()
- but when super class has no default constructor - won't work
in other words: base class has one constructor taking 2 args. therefore have write down constructor within child class - compiler can't know how create empty constructor calling two-arg super constructor.
