# Constructors in Inheritance in Java
2+
### Constructors in Inheritance:
3+
- When a drived class is extended from the base class, the constructor of the base class is executed first followed by the constructor of the derived class. For the following Inheritance hierarchy , the constructors are executed in the order:
4+
5+
1. C1- Parent
6+
2. C2 - Child
7+
3. C3 - Grandchild
8+
9+
### Constructors during constructor overloading :
10+
- When there are multiple constructors in the parent class, the constructor without any parameters is called from the child class.
11+
- If we want to call the constructor with parameters from the parent class, we can use the super keyword.
12+
- super(a, b) calls the constructor from the parent class which takes 2 variables
13+
14+
```
15+
class Base1{
16+
Base1(){
17+
System.out.println("I am a constructor");
18+
}
19+
Base1(int x){
20+
System.out.println("I am an overloaded constructor with value of x as: " + x);
21+
}
22+
}
23+
24+
class Derived1 extends Base1{
25+
Derived1(){
26+
//super(0);
27+
System.out.println("I am a derived class constructor");
28+
}
29+
Derived1(int x, int y){
30+
super(x);
31+
System.out.println("I am an overloaded constructor of Derived with value of y as: " + y);
32+
}
33+
}
34+
35+
class ChildOfDerived extends Derived1{
36+
ChildOfDerived(){
37+
System.out.println("I am a child of derived constructor");
38+
}
39+
ChildOfDerived(int x, int y, int z){
40+
super(x, y);
41+
System.out.println("I am an overloaded constructor of Derived with value of z as: " + z);
42+
}
43+
}
44+
public class cwh_46_constructors_in_inheritance {
45+
public static void main(String[] args) {
46+
// Base1 b = new Base1();
47+
// Derived1 d = new Derived1();
48+
// Derived1 d = new Derived1(14, 9);
49+
// ChildOfDerived cd = new ChildOfDerived();
50+
ChildOfDerived cd = new ChildOfDerived(12, 13, 15);
51+
}
