Calling a constructor from another one.

[Somelauw]

class Thing {

     int a_;

     public Thing(a) {
          a_ = a;
     }

     public Thing() {
          Thing(0); //This line doesn't work.
     }

How can I call a different version of a constructor from another constructor?
I could put the code in a private helpconstructor function, but I prefer something easier.

The parameter(s) of a constructor should be typed as well, e.g.

public Thing(int a) { this.a= a; }
public Thing() { this(0); } // <-- that's the way to call another c'tor

kind regards,
