Cannot reference before supertype constructor has been called..

[Akirien]

Can anyone help me with my code? I'm getting the error "cannot reference manufacturer before supertype constructor has been called and cannot reference weight before supertype constructor has been called.

public abstract class Computer {
	
	public String manufacturer;
	public double weight;
	
	public Computer(String manufacturer, double weight){
		
		this.manufacturer = manufacturer;
		this.weight = weight;
	}
	
	public abstract void description();


public class Desktop extends Computer{
	
	public String modelNo;
	public String processorType;
	
	public Desktop(String model, String processor){
		
		super(manufacturer, weight);
		modelNo = model;
		processorType = processor;
		
		
	}
		
		public void description()
		{
			
			System.out.println("Description : " +modelNo);
			System.out.println("Processor : " +processorType);
			System.out.println("Weight : " +weight);
			
		}
	


public class TestComputer{
	
	public static void main(String[] args){
		
		Desktop desk = new Desktop("Dell345", "2 Kilogram");
		
		desk.description();
	}

My head is already burning. Thank you.. :D

Your code super(manufacturer, weight); makes no sense! What do you want to do?
With super(...) you are trying to call the super constructor -> the constructor of computer, which is public Computer(String manufacturer, double weight){ So you have to pass a string and a double.

So it would make sense if the constructor of Desktop needs four arguments, or you would pass default values to the super constructor!

Also remember that a Desktop IS-A Computer. So that, in particular, a desktop will also have a manufacturer and weight just like any other computer. When you call the Desktop constructor perhaps you should pass this information as well.
