Discussion Forum : Declarations and Access Control - Finding the output (Q.No. 4)
4.
What will be the output of the program?
class Super
{
public int i = 0;
public Super(String text) /* Line 4 */
{
i = 1;
}
}
class Sub extends Super
{
public Sub(String text)
{
i = 2;
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Sub sub = new Sub("Hello");
System.out.println(sub.i);
}
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A default no-args constructor is not created because there is a constructor supplied that has an argument, line 4. Therefore the sub-class constructor must explicitly make a call to the super class constructor:
public Sub(String text)
{
super(text); // this must be the first line constructor
i = 2;
}

@Overlord.
Even if we don't do any initialization why do we get an error, I am not able to understand this problem. Please anyone explain it.

We can't initialize an integer inside a class definition.

Yes, constructor have two types those are,
zero parameter constructor and parameterized constructor.
ex: public Sub(){}
public Sub(int a,int b){}
zero parameter constructor and parameterized constructor.
ex: public Sub(){}
public Sub(int a,int b){}

Can constructor have any arguments?

No constructor have not any return type.
If it has return type the compiler does not considered as a constructor.

Provide no-arg constructor in super class. A default, no-arg constructor is generated by the compiler only if the class has no constructor defined explicitly.

Otherwise declare a default constructor in the Super class.
This is because for calling super class constructor i.e the way that Object is always is our parent class.This is also another cause that compiler provide us default constructor.Compiler provide the default constructor like this .Let A is a class then constructor be like this
public A()
{
super();
}
If you declare a constructor by your self then compiler insert a super(); as a first statement.
