Thread: Subclass not compiling.

Hi all. How's everybody doing? Good I hope. I'm hanging in there.

What I have are some classes for a program I'm sure many of you have seen before, ye ol' BankAccount class. What I've done here is write a subclass that inherits from the the BA class. But the subclass doesn't compile and I can't figure out what to do. I keep getting the error below:

SavingsAccount.java:10: error: no suitable constructor found for BankAccount(String,String)
super(CName, CType);
^
constructor BankAccount.BankAccount(int,String,String,String,d ouble,double) is not applicable
(actual and formal argument lists differ in length)
constructor BankAccount.BankAccount() is not applicable
(actual and formal argument lists differ in length)
1 error


Below are the classes I've written. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

	}
 
}

Thanks again Norm. (I was just moving this post to proper forum.) Anyway, you're fast. So, I had been thinking along the lines of your first suggestion, but does that mean I need to pass ALL the args of the BA class AND the two new ones I made? Can you do that?

Thanks for trying to help. But I'm sorry to say I'm just not getting it. I mean, I've passed it what it needs. Then I try passing all the args in the order that they appear in the super-class. Still a problem.

--- Update ---

Waaaaaiiiiit a minute, let me try something....

Well, nevermind. I thought if I put all the args in the call to the super class that the super has, THAT would work. But alas...

--- Update ---

OK. Finally got it. Makes perfect sense now.

public SavingsAccount(int AccNum, String AccType, String CName, String CType, double Bal, double mFee, double savNum, double savBal) //Not sure if CType is the arg needed.
	{
		super(AccNum, AccType, CName, CType, Bal, mFee);
		savingsNumber = savNum;
		savingsBalance = savBal;
	}

Sure thing Norm. Thanks for your help. You know, all those args just look wild to me. Logically I can see now why they are needed, but I just assumed there was a more 'succinct' way to do this.
