I'm trying to follow LSP in practical programming. And I wonder if different constructors of subclasses violate it. It would be great to hear an explanation instead of just yes/no. Thanks much!

P.S. If the answer is no, how do I make different strategies with different input without violating LSP?

class IStrategy
{
    public:
        virtual void use() = 0;
};

class FooStrategy : public IStrategy
{
    public:
        FooStrategy(A a, B b) { c = /* some operations with a, b */ }
        virtual void use() { std::cout << c; }
    private:
        C c;
};

class BarStrategy : public IStrategy
{
    public:
        BarStrategy(D d, E e) { f = /* some operations with d, e */ }
        virtual void use() { std::cout << f; }
    private:
        F f;
};
