title: Constructor cannot be applied to given types?
body: <p>I have the following Java code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class WeirdList {
      /** The empty sequence of integers. */
      /*ERROR LINE */ public static final WeirdList EMPTY = new WeirdList.EmptyList();
  
      /** A new WeirdList whose head is HEAD and tail is TAIL. */
      public WeirdList(int head, WeirdList tail) {
          headActual = head;
          tailActual = tail;
      }
      /** Returns the number of elements in the sequence that
       *  starts with THIS. */
      public int length() {
          return 1 + this.tailActual.length();
      }
  
      /** Apply FUNC.apply to every element of THIS WeirdList in
       *  sequence, and return a WeirdList of the resulting values. */
      public WeirdList map(IntUnaryFunction func) {
          return new WeirdList(func.apply(this.headActual), this.tailActual.map(func));
      }
  
      /** Print the contents of THIS WeirdList on the standard output
       *  (on one line, each followed by a blank).  Does not print
       *  an end-of-line. */
      public void print() {
          System.out.println(this.headActual);
          this.tailActual.print();
      }
  
      private int headActual;
      private WeirdList tailActual;
      private static class EmptyList extends WeirdList {
  
          public int length() {
              return 0;
          }
          public EmptyList map(IntUnaryFunction func) {
              return new EmptyList();
          }
          public void print() {
              return;
          }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I keep getting the error: "constructor cannot be applied to given type"... Does that mean the subclass of the superclass must have the same number of parameters in the constructor as the superclass? I've been banging my head against the wall for an hour.</p>
