does class inherits the constructors of super class

Does a class inherit the constructors of its superclass?

As long as it is not private, I'd say that it does.

areyou really sure about it?
then why can't you give me a sample program to simulate this concept
:-)

thanks in advance

Forget the crap I've posted above
I'll check what I'm saying with samples when I'm not 100% sure.

Constructor declarations are not members. They are never inherited and therefore are not subject to hiding or overriding.

No, constructors are not inherited. For example, if you create a class that has a constructor that takes a String, and then you create a subclass of that class, the subclass does not automatically have a constructor that takes a String.

class Superclass {
  public Superclass() {
  }
 
  public Superclass(String s) {
    System.out.println(s);
  }
}
 
class Subclass extends Superclass {
}
 
public class Demo {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Does not compile because Subclass does not have a constructor
    // that takes a String; it doesn't inherit the constructor from
    // the superclass
 
    Subclass obj = new Subclass("Hello");
  }
}
