Constructors

Posted by Harpreet Singh on December 09, 2000 at 5:58 AM

Sir i have just started learning Java & little bit confused on constructors due to following reasons:-

I thought constructor is a sort of function(because we call it by placing () signs in front of class name & this sign generally represents func. name). If it is a sort of default function for every class then why does following samp.java does not run
-----------------------------------------------------------------
class a
{
a(int i)
{
System.out.println("In Class A");
}
}

class b extends a
{
b()
{
System.out.println("In class b");
}
}

class samp
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
b obj = new b();
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------

This program gives a error for constructor a(). if constructor is made by default for every class then where does it go in this case.

Pl. looking forward for your timely & needy help.

Thanks

Harpreet Singh
