Accessing child properties when calling a function from its parent
So I've a
Shape parent class and a Circle child class.
The child class calls the parent's constructor with super, which then callsgenerateMarkup - a function all children have.
Problem is this function uses an instance variable in the child class, and this appear not to have been set yet.
Not sure if I've made a mistake, but I had thought (admittedly from hazy Java memories) that instance variables were set prior to constructors running?

In case anyone is interested, I think simply moving the call to
generateMarkup into each child constructor is the easiest fix 🙂
