Java error: class, interface, or enum expected

Question

I need to know the output of this code. But it's not working. Maybe the code is wrong. I'm still learning how to use Java, and I tried fixing this for hours but still no luck.

Here is the code:

public class A 
{ 
    public A() 
    {
        System.out.println ("A");
    }
}
public class B extends A 
{
    public B() 
    {
        System.out.println ("B");
    }
}
public class C extends B 
{ 
    public C() 
    {
        System.out.println ("C");
    }
}

public static void main(String args[]) {

    A a = new A();  
    B b = new B();  
    C c = new C();  
}

Can anyone tell me what is wrong or missing in the code?

Answer 1

For example:

public class Example {

    public static void main(String...args) {
        new C();
    }

    public static class A {
        public A() {
            System.out.println("A");
        }
    }
    public static class B extends A {
        public B() {
            System.out.println("B");
        }
    }
    public static class C extends B {
        public C() {
            System.out.println("C");
        }
    }
}

Also note that this might not print what you would expect. It would actually print:

A
B
C

Why? Constructors are always chained to the super class.
