if you declare a member of class "a" you must provide a default constructor
for
that class (i.e. a constructor without arguments).

you can try one of these:

1) class b : public a {
    b(int x) : a(x) { ...

2) a *class_a_instance;
    b(int x) { class_a_instance = new a(x); ...

of course c++ allows other MAXINT more solutions, but two is a beginning
:-)
