Why is constructor of super class invoked when we declare the object of sub class? (Java)

Question

Consider this code:

class Test {
    Test() {
        System.out.println(\"In constructor of Superclass\");
    }

    int adds(int n1, int n2) {
        ret         


        

Answer 1

The subclass inherits fields from it's superclass(es) and those fields have to get constructed/initialised (that's the usual purpose of a constructor: init the class members so that the instance works as required. We know that some people but a lot more functionality in those poor constructors...)
