When are builders called?

• When the object of a subclass is created, the constructor of the superclass is executed first.

• In a class hierarchy, constructors are executed in order of derivation, from superclass to subclass.

• The super() function must be the first statement executed in the constructor of a subclass.

• The execution order of the constructors is the same, regardless of whether super() is used or not.

• If super() is not used, the default constructor of the superclass will be executed.

• Constructors are executed in derivation order.

• The superclass must complete its execution before the subclass, as it has no knowledge of the subclasses.

• Superclass initialization can be a prerequisite for subclass initialization, justifying the order of execution.
