Constructors in a subclass

suggest change

When you make a subclass of a base class, you can construct the base class by using : base after the subclass constructor’s parameters.

class Instrument
{
    string type;
    bool clean;

    public Instrument (string type, bool clean)
    {
        this.type = type;
        this.clean = clean;
    }
}

class Trumpet : Instrument
{
    bool oiled;

    public Trumpet(string type, bool clean, bool oiled) : base(type, clean)
    {
        this.oiled = oiled;
    }
}

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
