The super keyword
In general, when people inherit properties from a different class, there might be a redundancy if the same variable names are used in both the parent and child class. To differentiate between parent variables and child variables, we use the super
keyword.
Let's explain this using an example. Let's create two classes and name them childDemo
and parentDemo
. In the parentDemo
class, we define a string called name
and assign the 'rahul'
string to it.
Now, in the childDemo
class, we inherit the properties of parentDemo
. We know how to inherit the properties of a parent class using the extends
keyword, which we learned inChapter 5, Everything You Need to Know About Interfaces and Inheritance. The code to inherit the properties is given here:
public class childDemo extend parentDemo{
In this code, childDemo
is taking the properties of parentDemo
.
Add a string in the childDemo
class, call it name
, and assign the QAClickAcademy
string to it. We then define a method called public void...
