Why are constructors not inherited in java?

Question

I am a beginner in java programming language, recently I have studied that constructors can not be inherited in java, Can anyone please explain why<

Answer 1

Syntactic limitations can often be circumvented should there be any reason for a feature in a conceptual way. With this, I believe, the real reason for not supporting inheritance of constructor is not due to syntactic limitations but rather due to semantics.

Conceptually inheritance provides a mechanism to acquire (or inherit) a behavior and most likely without writing any piece of code since its purpose is to provide code-reuse. For a child class, it makes no case to inherit the behavior of initialization of its parent class. After all, an inherited behavior finds its best use when an external caller can use it without knowing who (in the parent chain) actually has implemented it. As you can see, a caller hardly has any business knowing how a parent class is initialized via its child class, there is no discernible reason for supporting inheritance for a (parent class’s) constructor.
