How to avoid a constructor of class A be extended to Class B?

Abstract Class A{
A(int)
{
}
}


Class B extends A{



}

now wen i compile class B. i get a error cannot find symbol: symbol is constructor A()


Wat do i have to do now?

When a subclass object is constructed, the superclass's constructor must be invoked - either explicitly or implicitly. In your case, it's invoked implicitly, and implicit constructor is constructor without arguments. But A does not have such a constructor. Hence an error.

By Default only non parametric construstor is called but since class A has parametric constructor you need to call it from class B

To add to what has already been said:
When you make a class which has a constructor with or without parameters, and you do not specifically include a constructor (or several constructors) it is the same thing as saying "only allow the listed constructors". So in your example when B attempts to extend A, the error says that B is attempting to use a constructor that does not exist (the default no parameter one implicitly being called)
Provide the no parameter constructor in class A or construct B with an explicit call to super(int)

ok ..Guyz i took you were suggestion and modified the code as following:

************************************************** ***
public abstract class Zee{
Zee(int x)
{System.out.print("Zee 's constructor is callled///..........");
System.out.print("x value is " + x);
}
}

class MTV extends Zee{
private int a=10;
MTV(int x)
{
super(x);
}


}
import java.io.*;
public class Callo
{

public static void main(String [] args)
{
MTV w= new MTV(2);
}
}
now this Callo class wen compiled pops me error
java 1 class ,interface ,or enum expected

What s going wrong with my Callo class?

Was Callo defined in it's own file?
