This java program is easy and full of comment,so you can understand it fast.however,why in construct staff[1],the program first go to the statement:
this("Employee #" + nextId, s);
then go to the object initialization block,and then go back to the statement,how confusion.why not it first use the object initialization block
import java.util.*;
public class ConstructorTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// fill the staff array with three Employee objects
Employee[] staff = new Employee[3];
staff[0] = new Employee("Harry", 40000);
staff[1] = new Employee(60000);
staff[2] = new Employee();
// print out information about all Employee objects
for (Employee e : staff)
System.out.println("name=" + e.getName()
+ ",id=" + e.getId()
+ ",salary=" + e.getSalary());
}
}
class Employee
{
// three overloaded constructors
public Employee(String n, double s)
{
name = n;
salary = s;
}
public Employee(double s)
{
// calls the Employee(String, double) constructor
this("Employee #" + nextId, s);
}
// the default constructor
public Employee()
{
// name initialized to ""--see below
// salary not explicitly set--initialized to 0
// id initialized in initialization block
}
public String getName()
{
return name;
}
public double getSalary()
{
return salary;
}
public int getId()
{
return id;
}
private static int nextId;
private int id;
private String name = ""; // instance field initialization
private double salary;
// static initialization block
static
{
Random generator = new Random();
// set nextId to a random number between 0 and 9999
nextId = generator.nextInt(10000);
}
// object initialization block
{
id = nextId;
nextId++;
}
}
解决方案
Because this("Employee #" + nextId, s); includes an implicit call to the superclass constructor, which of course must be executed before the initializer block of the subclass.
Using instance initializers is generally a bad idea as they are not well known, cannot do anything more than constructors, and mixing both leads to confusion.
