inheritance - how can i use a superclass method in a subclass java -

public void setname (string n){} public void setafm (string a){} 

these superclass methods need call.

salariedemployee (){     name = super.setname(string n);     afm = super.setafm(string a);     salary = payment(); 

and thats constructor in subclass. how can call methods properly. don't want use parameters in salariedemployee, want set name , afm superclass methods. methods void. guess have change right ? or missing else? in advance!

edit : can use setters. "super" keyword mandatory if want call method superclass have overridden in subclass.

you should use constructors set initial values using setters possible solution :

class employee {     string name;     string afm;      public employee() {     }     public employee(string name, string afm) {         super();         this.name = name;         this.afm = afm;     }      public void setname(string name) {         this.name = name;     }      public void setafm(string afm) {         this.afm = afm;     }  }  class salariedemployee extends employee {     //using constructors      public salariedemployee(string name, string afm) {         super(name, afm);         salary = payment();     }     //using setters     public salariedemployee() {         setafm("afm");         setname("name");         salary = payment();     } } 

also setter method 'setname' should void because don't expect return unlike getter method 'getname' example.
