A subclass needs a constructor if the superclass does not have a default constructor (or has one that is not accessible to the subclass). If the subclass has no constructor at all, the compiler will automatically create a public constructor that simply calls through to the default constructor of the superclass.18 Mar 2014

The superclass constructor can be called using super->constructor only as a standalone statement.
Read moreHow do you call a constructor from another class constructor?
To call one constructor from another constructor is called constructor chaining in java. This process can be implemented in two ways: Using this() keyword to call the current class constructor within the “same class”. Using super() keyword to call the superclass constructor from the “base class”.
Read moreCan a constructor be call from a constructor?

Read moreWhat happens if you don’t call super constructor Java?
Note: If a constructor does not explicitly invoke a superclass constructor, the Java compiler automatically inserts a call to the no-argument constructor of the superclass . If the super class does not have a no-argument constructor, you will get a compile-time error.
Read moreWhy do we need to call super constructor?
We use super keyword to call the members of the Superclass . As a subclass inherits all the members (fields, methods, nested classes) from its parent and since Constructors are NOT members (They don’t belong to objects. They are responsible for creating objects), they are NOT inherited by subclasses.8 May 2012
