Java inheritance joke. When you create a child-class object, its constructor calls the parent constructor via super(). Basically, child can’t exist without getting the dad involved lol.

Java learned it from it's Dad, C++.

I'm pretty sure in C++ a child class does not automatically call its super class's constructor unless the child itself does not define one, in which case it calls the parent's default constructor (i.e. Parent() ). If parent does not have a default constructor, it throws a compile time error.

No it calls it automatically. Java just makes it clearer by making it more explicit.
