java program output

Posted by R. S. Sharma on April 14, 2000 at 4:57 AM

Could you explain to me the logic of the output as given by the foll. program : (I am terribly confused by private Circle c1=new Circle(100); line - When is it executed ???)
Thanks,
Radhey

import java.util.*;

class Shape {
Shape(int i) {
System.out.println("Shape constructor"+"-->"+i);
}
}

class Circle extends Shape {
Circle(int i) {
super(i);
System.out.println("Drawing a Circle"+"-->"+i);
}
}

public class rss extends Shape {
private Circle c;
private Circle c1=new Circle(100);
rss(int i) {
super(i + 1);
c = new Circle(1);
System.out.println("Combined constructor");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
rss x = new rss(47);
}
}
