Initialization syntax question

[Hengry]

So I have a base class and a derived class, and I'm confused how the initialization syntax works in the code

Base class

class Instructor {
   
   public:
   
   Instructor(string n) {
      name = n;
      }  

Derived class

class Adjunct : public Instructor{
   
   public:
   Adjunct (string n):Instructor(n) // Don't understand this syntax
   {}

Well, it initializes the Base class (Instructor).

I think it'll be easier for me to understand if I can see it without the initialization syntax.

Lets say we have a constructor initialization syntax

Instructor(string n) : name(n){
 // Same as 
 // name = n;
}

Would

Adjunct (string n):Instructor(n)

be something along the line as

Instructor::Instructor(n)
