Constructor call with condition

Question

I would like to do something like this:

if (condition) super(foo.class); else super(bar.class); 

But the superconstructor should be the first in the constructor. Is it possible to do this?

Answer 1

Assuming you call the same superconstructor in both cases and just pass a different argument, you can simply use the conditional operator:

 super(condition ? Foo.class : Bar.class);
