help with extends

[John Smith]

class above {

void display() {

class family {

-- some functions --

}

class creature extends family {

public void creature() {
} // default constructor

public void creatureObj(obj y) {

-- some functions --

} // creatureObj's constructor

public String getName() {
return realName;
} // Accessor for realName

public String getColour() {
return realColour;
} // Accessor for realColour

public int getLegNumber() {
return legNumber;
} // Accessor for legNumber

public int getEyeNumber() {
return eyeNumber;
} // Accessor for eyeNumber


} // end class creature


creature inputCreature = new creature();


System.out.println("Name is " + inputCreature.getName());
System.out.println("Colour is " + inputCreature.getColour());
System.out.println("Leg Number is " + inputCreature.getLegNumber());
System.out.println("Eye Number is " + inputCreature.getEyeNumber());


} // display
} // above



I know I'm actually calling the default constructor which returns
everything as null in the output such as for inputCreature.getName(). So
the code above is wrong.

How should I code it such that it calls the corresponding value for
inputCreature.getName() ?

public void creatureObj(obj y) {

-- some functions --

} // creatureObj's constructor

oops, should be creature instead of creatureObj..
