Take an example :
public class A // This is the base class.
{
public A(int value)
{
// Executes some code in the constructor.
Console.WriteLine("Base constructor A()");
}
}

public class B : A // This class derives from the previous class.
{
public B(int value)
: base(value)
{
// The base constructor is called first.
// ... Then this code is executed.
Console.WriteLine("Derived constructor B()");
}
}
In the example, the constructor in class B calls the constructor of class A using base initializer. syntax. Here Class B inherting the constructor of A.

hi
Actual the private constructer can not be inherited.
so when the constructer is public at the time of inheritance
automaticaly the public constructer is inherited

whenever we try to create a descendent class after a base class and try to override some method, we don't need to change or mention constructor of base class in descendent class.

We just need to refer that constructor with keyword
"this" or "base" before the constructor.

So this is known as Constructor Inheritance.

Constructor is class name same as method name.
class a
{
   public void a()// this is constractor and may not have parameter default contractor.
   {

   }
}
