how to call super class constructor in java code example
Example 1: what is super keyword
Variables and methods of super class can be overridden in subclass.
In case of overriding , a subclass
object call its own variables and methods. Subclass cannot
access the variables and methods of
superclass because the overridden variables or methods hides the
methods and variables of super class.
But still java provides a way to access super class members even if
its members are overridden. Super is
used to access superclass variables, methods, constructors.
Super can be used in two forms :
1) First form is for calling super class constructor.
2) Second one is to call super class variables,methods.
Super if present must be the first statement.
Example 2: public class extends java super
public MountainBike(int startHeight,
int startCadence,
int startSpeed,
int startGear) {
super(startCadence, startSpeed, startGear);
seatHeight = startHeight;
}
