Java — Initializing superclass variables in subclasses?

Question

Okay, so, for example, let\'s say I have an abstract class called \"Vehicle\". The Vehicle class, has, among other things, a static variable called wheels, which is not init

Answer 1

Maybe you'd like to think about the constructors you are using.

public Vehicle(int wheels) {
    this.wheels = wheels; 
}

public Motorcycle(int wheels) {
    super(wheels);
}

public Motorcycle cycle = new Motorcycle(2);

The Motorcycle uses the super constructor that knows what to do with the parameter. It automatically sets wheels to 2.
