Java constructor inheritance?

Question

I always thought that constructors aren\'t inherited, but look at this code:

class Parent {
    Parent() {
        S         


        

Answer 1

If superclass doesn’t have default constructor, then subclass also needs to have an explicit constructor defined. Else it will throw compile time exception. In the subclass constructor, call to superclass constructor is mandatory in this case and it should be the first statement in the subclass constructor.
