"this" ???

[pras]

public class Test6{
public Test6(){
this(4);/***********??? ****/
}
public Test6(byte var){
System.out.println(var);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
Test6 t6 = new Test6();
}
}
/**** why is 4 not passed to public Test6 constructer?

[John Dell'Oso]

Have a look at this:

  
public class Test6 {
    public Test6() {
        this((byte)4);
    }
 
    public Test6(byte var) {
        System.out.println(var);
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test6 t6 = new Test6();
    }
}
   

The second constructor is expecting a byte. You have to use a cast as the literal 4 is assumed to be an integral type.
