Basically, this error is saying that your Triangle class is trying to use the the default constructor of shape class -- but your shape class doesn't have a default constructor. Your shape class has a constructor that takes two int parameters.

Because if you provide a constructor with parameters, then the compiler will NOT insert the default constructor and you will have to explicitly write it like you just did.

You are only given a default constructor if you DON'T create one yourself. In your shape class, you made one that takes two ints:

So you don't get a free, no-arg one.

No, it is not mandatory, provided the superclass of class Shape, has a default constructor. This is because the first statement of any constructor, by default is a call to super().

this code just cannot be compiled with prompt of eclipse: Implicit super constructor Shape() is undefined. Must explicitly invoke another constructor.
