rules for constructor chaining by example in java
Example 1: java call another constructor
public class Foo {
private int x;
public Foo() {
this(1);
}
public Foo(int x) {
this.x = x;
}
}
Example 2: how to call one constructor from the other constructor
With in the same class if we want to call one constructor
from other we use this() method. Based on the
number of parameters we pass appropriate this() method is called.
Restrictions for using this method :
1) this must be the first statement in the constructor
2)we cannot use two this() methods in the constructor
From base class: by using super() keyword to call constructor
