Java’s rule:

If first line of constructor is not an explicit call to a superclass constructor, Java will implicitly put super( ) as the first line, calling the superclass default constructor.public Dog() {

strNoise = “Woof”;

} // of constructor

An exception to this rule: chained constructor call to this(params) will defer super( ) call

params, call them explicitly,

e.g., super(strName)
