So this is my Soldier Superclass
its for a group project and im planning on combining my work with a friends (hence why i commented what i did in the takeDamage() method. Everything looks fine in this class yet when i create my subclasses and even added the attack method to both, i get an error on the c in the class line (which i will bold) saying "constructor Soldier in class Soldier cannot be applied to given types; and proceeds to list parameters in the constructor of Soldier.
i dont see whats wrong. i'd assume its because all the private instance variables are not protected meaning that the subclasses wouldn't be able to access them but im not sure. i would change it just to see but i dont want to screw up my code more by accident so im okay with waiting for a response, thanks for the help in advance!
