Inheritance in Java

The document describes a GeometricObject superclass with common properties and methods for shape objects like Circle and Rectangle subclasses. It shows constructor chaining where subclasses call super class constructors to initialize common properties before initializing subclass specific properties. The Test class creates Circle and Rectangle objects and outputs their properties.

It can be used in two ways:

.
.
public Circle(double radius, String color, boolean filled, Date creationDate) {
super(color, filled, creationDate);
this.radius = radius;
}
.
.

public class ConstructorChaining {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new employee();
}
}

class person{
public person(){
System.out.println("1- Person Here");
}
}

class stuff extends person {


public stuff(){
this("2- Invoke Stuff's overloaded constructor");
System.out.println("3- Stuff Here");
}
public stuff(String message){
System.out.println(message);
}
}

class employee extends stuff{


public employee(){
System.out.println("4- Employee Here");
}
}
