Why not this for the constuctors of CoffeeCup?

Posted by Bryan Boone on 06 Apr 1998, 10:06 AM

public class CoffeeCup {
public CoffeeCup() {
innerCoffee = 0;
setSize(SHORT);
}
public CoffeeCup(int size) {
this();
setSize(size);
}
public CoffeeCup(int size, int startingAmount) {
this(size);
add(startingAmount);
}
... //your other functions
}
