I'm a student, learning Java. I know, `protected` means access from `children` or `the same package`. Here we inherit and override a protected method. And after such an action, whenever the base class wants to call its own method it calls the new overridden one from the subclass. I've been debugging this for a while and marked the execution order with comments. But I can't understand why doesn't it call the base method when I clearly call that from inside the base class constructor? 

```
public class Solution {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new B(); // first
    }

    public static class A {

        public A() {
            initialize(); // third
        }

        protected void initialize() {
            System.out.println("class A"); // we never go here
        }
    }

    public static class B extends A {

        public B() {
            super(); // second
            initialize(); // fifth
        }

        protected void initialize() {
            System.out.println("class B"); // fourth, sixth
        }
    }
}

```

That's a task from one website, so basically the solution is to change access modifier of the `initialize` method from `protected` to `private`. But I still fail to understand why is the problem happening.
