Problem when Overloading Classes

[Army]

Okay, so I tried to overload my class, and it is fairly simple. I made the methods, called the variables etc.

But when I run it, it gives me 0 for the product (or area) of the length * width.

public class AreaRect {
	int length;
	int width;
	
	AreaRect(){
		int length = 7;
		int width = 5;
	}
	AreaRect(int l, int w){
		int length = l;
		int width = w;
	}
	
	int getArea(){
		return length * width;
	}
	
	
	
	public static void main(String [] args){
		AreaRect RectObj1 , RectObj2;
		RectObj1 = new AreaRect();
		RectObj2 = new AreaRect(10, 20);
		
		System.out.println("Area of rectangle 1 is:" + RectObj1.getArea());
		System.out.println("Area of rectangle 2 is:" + RectObj2.getArea());
	}
}

In the first AreaRect I initialize the variables and I thought it should work. Second I just call them, but initialize them later in my object creation.

Can someone help me get the correct answers (35 and 200)?

You're re-declaring variables in your constructors which will "shadow" the class variables. Don't do this, but instead use the class variables in the constructors.

Okay, do I really need to even declare my variables in AreaRect(1)?

You mean extend a class? You can't overload a class.

kind regards,
