Calling one constructor from another?

Thread view:

If a class has 2 constructors:

public MyClass() { ... }

and

public MyClass(int i) { ... }

How can the parameterized constructor, MyClass(i), call the
parameterless constructor, MyClass()?

It can do it at the start of its body, instead of a super call, using
"this":

public Myclass(int i){
this();
....
}
