problem initializing with super

[Chris Yates]

I have class Vehicle and another file with class Car that is sub-class of Vehicle. I'am trying to initilize Car calling super but it's giving me this error which i dont understand because everything matches.
It says in the super line "Vehicle in class Vehicle cannot be applied to given types. required no arguments, found int, int, String, int, int. actual and formal arguements list differs in lenght"
Here's the code:

public class Vehicle {

    int wheels;
    int topSpeed;
    String fuelType;
    int weight;
    int seats;
    
    public Vehicle(int wheels, int topSpeed, String fuelType, int weight, int seats)
    {
        this.wheels = wheels;
        this.topSpeed = topSpeed;
        this.fuelType = fuelType;
        this.weight = weight;
        this.seats = seats;
    }
}

public class Car extends Vehicle{
    
    private String manufacter;
    private String model;
    private int year;
    private int mileage;
    private int numDoors;
    
    public Car(int topSpeed, String fuelType, int weight, int seats, 
            String manufacter, String model, int year, int mileage, int numDoors)
    {
        super(4, topSpeed, fuelType, weight, seats); // line wit problem
        this.manufacter = manufacter;
        this.model = model;
        this.year = year;
        this.mileage = mileage;
        this.numDoors = numDoors;
        
    }
}

Works here... Do you have two different classes with the name "Vehicle"?

That is not possible. It is possible that there was a spelling mistake in the code which has been corrected in what was posted here however.

I thought about different packages. Many users "forget" to copy that line...

Well maybe we have not been given the real code, but on using the simple name of the class Vehicle, a Vehicle class in the current (unnamed) package will take precedence over such a class in a different package.

Makes this line of code

  public Car(int topSpeed, String fuelType, int weight, int seats, 
            String manufacter, String model, int year, int mileage, int numDoors)

into a single line like this:

 public Car(int topSpeed, String fuelType, int weight, int seats, String manufacter, String model, int year, int mileage, int numDoors)

solved the problem. No idea why lol

Sounds like a hiccup in your editor. They get a little bit confused every now and then. The compiler definitely should allow line breaks in constructor signatures.

Just a small heads up: manufacter is not English. The correct spelling is manufacturer.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Are you using a word processor? That might add a control character to that line causing errors.
