Undefined Constructor

Question

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;

}

. . .

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");
