My question is rather simple, but I am stuck. How can I choose the desired constructor from base class?

// node.h
#ifndef NODE_H
#define NODE_H

#include <vector>

// definition of an exception-class
class WrongBoundsException
{
};

class Node
{
    public:
        ...

        Node(double, double, std::vector<double>&) throw (WrongBoundsException);
        ...
};

#endif


// InternalNode.h
#ifndef INTERNALNODE_H
#define INTERNALNODE_H

#include <vector>
#include "Node.h"


class InternalNode : public Node
{
    public:
        // the position of the leftmost child (child left)
        int left_child;
        // the position of the parent
        int parent;

        InternalNode(double, double, std::vector<double>&, int parent, int left_child) throw (WrongBoundsException);

    private:
        int abcd;

};

#endif


// InternalNode.cpp

#include "InternalNode.h"

#define UNDEFINED_CHILD -1
#define ROOT -1


// Here is the problem
InternalNode::InternalNode(double a, double b, std::vector<double> &v, int par, int lc) 
throw (WrongBoundsException)
: Node(a, b, v), parent(par), left_child(lc)
{
    std::cout << par << std::endl;
}

I get:

$ g++ InternalNode.cpp

InternalNode.cpp:16: error: declaration of ‘InternalNode::InternalNode(double, double, std::vector >&, int, int) throw (WrongBoundsException)’ throws different exceptions InternalNode.h:17: error: from previous declaration ‘InternalNode::InternalNode(double, double, std::vector >&, int, int)’

UPDATE 0: Fixed missing :

UPDATE 1: Fixed throw exception
