Java Question
Undefined Constructor
I have the following code:
public class Cockpit extends Seat {
private Seat seat;
public Cockpit(String location) {
super("Cockpit");
}
. . .
But Eclipse is giving me an error saying "The constructor Cockpit() is undefined". I'm not sure where to go from here?
This is what I have for Seat:
public class Seat {
private String location;
public Seat(String location) {
this.location = location;
}
public String getLocation() {
return location;
}
public String toString() {
return location;
}
. . .
Answer
You're not showing the code causing the error, but I suspect it looks something like this:
Cockpit cockpit = new Cockpit();
The problem that your Cockpit constructor is expecting a String argument, but you're not passing one in. Since the location argument of Seat is hardcoded in the Cockpit constructor, you probably want to remove the parameter altogether:
public Cockpit() {
super("Cockpit");
}
Alternatively, you can pass the location parameter into super() and specify its value when you call the constructor:
public Cockpit(String location) {
super(location);
}
// ...
Cockpit cockpit = new Cockpit("Cockpit");
