Hi all,

i have a question, im extending a class P which holds xpos and ypos, as i understand when you extend a class you automagicaly have access to its methods and variables, but for some reason, i can only set the variables through a constructor, how come i just cant say xpos = 1; in the extended class like this ?

//bre

1. class P {
   float xpos=0;
   float ypos=0;
     
   }
   
   class Test extends P {
   
     // why cant i do it this way ?
      xpos = 1;
    
   // this works with constructor
   //  Test(float x,float y){
   //   xpos=x;
   //   ypos=y;
    
   // }
   
    
    void print() {
     println("x "+xpos);
     println("y "+ypos);
     
    }
    
   }
   
   Test t = new Test();
   //Test t = new Test(1,1);
   void setup() {
     t.print();
   }
