Can constructors be inherited in Java?
No, constructors cannot be inherited in Java.
In inheritance sub class inherits the members of a super class except constructors.
In other words, constructors cannot be inherited in Java therefore, there is no need to write final before constructors.
Example
public interface InterfaceTest { public InterfaceTest(){ } public abstract void display(); public abstract void show(); }
Still, if you try to write constructors in an interface it will generate a compile time error.
Error
C:\Sample>javac InterfaceTest.java InterfaceTest.java:2: error: <identifier> expected InterfaceTest(){ ^ 1 error C:\Sample>
