No arguments detected in constructor class?

I’m just having some trouble in Java with a specific error, and none of my research has come up with a solution.

I have two classes, Employee and Executive. Employee is initialised as:

public abstract class Employee{
protected String name;
protected double wage;

public Employee(String name, double wage){
    this.name = name;
    this.wage = wage;
}

With a few get functions following. Executive is initialised as:

public class Executive extends Employee{
double annualBonus;

public Executive(String name, double wage, double annualBonus){
    super.name = name;
    super.wage = wage;
    this.annualBonus = annualBonus;
}

However this is throwing the error: "actual and formal argument lists differ in length"

Executive.java:6: error: constructor Employee in class Employee cannot be applied to given types;
    public Executive(String name, double wage, double annualBonus){
                                                                  ^
  required: String,double
  found:    no arguments
  reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
8 errors
[ERROR] Build errors detected!

From all of my research this error is thrown when there is a mismatched number of arguments or the constructor is coded incorrectly, however to the best of my knowledge I can’t see what is wrong here. While the parent class has one less argument than the child class, I saw that an issue like this could be solved using the base keyword and I tried this solution as:

public Executive(String name, double wage, double annualBonus) base:(String name, double wage){
    super.name = name;
    super.wage = wage;
    this.annualBonus = annualBonus;
}

However this throws a different error:

Executive.java:6: error: missing method body, or declare abstract
public Executive(String name, double wage, double annualBonus) base:(String name, double wage){
       ^

I know the solution here is probably really obvious but I’ve been trying at it and can’t seem to crack this. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

>Solution :

It is because you should not use assignment to assign protected values manually, instead, in the start of your constructor, you should leverage the constructor from you inherited parent super(...);.

Here is a link explaining why we should put the super() and this() in the first line of the constructor when parent’s constructor takes parameter. https://stackoverflow.com/a/1168356/6346643

In this example, the proper manner to inherit class Employee should be:

public class Executive extends Employee {
  double annualBonus;

  public Executive(String name, double wage, double annualBonus) {
    super(name, wage);
    this.annualBonus = annualBonus;
  }
}
