Calling an overridden method from a constructor

Question

In the following example:

class Base {    
    int  x=10;  

    Base() {    
      show();
    }  

    void show() {   
        System.out.print (\"Base Show \         


        

Answer 1

constructor chaining it makes sense to explain exactly what that is. A subclass constructor method's first task is to call its superclass' constructor method. This ensures that the creation of the subclass object starts with the initialization of the classes above it in the inheritance chain.
