I would like to share with codes whatever I understood.

The super keyword in java is a reference variable that is used to refer parent class objects. It is majorly used in the following contexts:-

1. Use of super with variables:

class Vehicle 
{ 
    int maxSpeed = 120; 
} 

/* sub class Car extending vehicle */
class Car extends Vehicle 
{ 
    int maxSpeed = 180; 

    void display() 
    { 
        /* print maxSpeed of base class (vehicle) */
        System.out.println("Maximum Speed: " + super.maxSpeed); 
    } 
} 

/* Driver program to test */
class Test 
{ 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        Car small = new Car(); 
        small.display(); 
    } 
} 

Output:-

Maximum Speed: 120

2. Use of super with methods:

/* Base class Person */
class Person 
{ 
    void message() 
    { 
        System.out.println("This is person class"); 
    } 
} 

/* Subclass Student */
class Student extends Person 
{ 
    void message() 
    { 
        System.out.println("This is student class"); 
    } 

    // Note that display() is only in Student class 
    void display() 
    { 
        // will invoke or call current class message() method 
        message(); 

        // will invoke or call parent class message() method 
        super.message(); 
    } 
} 

/* Driver program to test */
class Test 
{ 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        Student s = new Student(); 

        // calling display() of Student 
        s.display(); 
    } 
}

Output:-

This is student class
This is person class

3. Use of super with constructors:

class Person 
{ 
    Person() 
    { 
        System.out.println("Person class Constructor"); 
    } 
} 

/* subclass Student extending the Person class */
class Student extends Person 
{ 
    Student() 
    { 
        // invoke or call parent class constructor 
        super(); 

        System.out.println("Student class Constructor"); 
    } 
} 

/* Driver program to test*/
class Test 
{ 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        Student s = new Student(); 
    } 
} 

Output:-

Person class Constructor
Student class Constructor

What can we use SUPER for?

Accessing Superclass Members

If your method overrides some of its superclass's methods, you can invoke the overridden method through the use of the keyword super like super.methodName();

Invoking Superclass Constructors

If a constructor does not explicitly invoke a superclass constructor, the Java compiler automatically inserts a call to the no-argument constructor of the superclass. If the super class does not have a no-argument constructor, you will get a compile-time error.

Look at the code below:

class Creature {
    public Creature() {
        system.out.println("Creature non argument constructor.");
    }
}

class Animal extends Creature {
    public Animal (String name) {
        System.out.println("Animal one argument constructor");
    }
    public Animal (Stirng name,int age) {
        this(name);
        system.out.println("Animal two arguments constructor");
    }
}

class Wolf extends Animal {
    public Wolf() {
        super("tigerwang",33);
        system.out.println("Wolf non argument constructor");
    }
    public static void main(string[] args) {
        new Wolf();
    }
}

When creating an object,the JVM always first execute the constructor in the class of the top layer in the inheritance tree.And then all the way down the inheritance tree.The reason why this is possible to happen is that the Java compiler automatically inserts a call to the no-argument constructor of the superclass.If there's no non-argument constructor in the superclass and the subclass doesn't explicitly say which of the constructor is to be executed in the superclass,you'll get a compile-time error.

In the above code,if we want to create a Wolf object successfully,the constructor of the class has to be executed.And during that process,the two-argu-constructor in the Animal class is invoked.Simultaneously,it explicitly invokes the one-argu-constructor in the same class and the one-argu-constructor implicitly invokes the non-argu-constructor in the Creature class and the non-argu-constructor again implicitly invokes the empty constructor in the Object class.

As stated, inside the default constructor there is an implicit super() called on the first line of the constructor.

This super() automatically calls a chain of constructors starting at the top of the class hierarchy and moves down the hierarchy .

If there were more than two classes in the class hierarchy of the program, the top class default constructor would get called first.

Here is an example of this:

class A {
    A() {
    System.out.println("Constructor A");
    }
}

class B extends A{

    public B() {
    System.out.println("Constructor B");
    }
}

class C extends B{ 

    public C() {
    System.out.println("Constructor C");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    C c1 = new C();
    }
} 

The above would output:

Constructor A
Constructor B
Constructor C

The super keyword in Java is a reference variable that is used to refer to the immediate parent class object.

Usage of Java super Keyword

• super can be used to refer to the immediate parent class instance variable.

• super can be used to invoke the immediate parent class method.

• super() can be used to invoke immediate parent class constructor.
