105. Calling 'Superclass' constructors using 'super' keyword

A subclass can call a constructor defined by its superclass using the 'super' keyword.

Example:   super(10,10,10);  kind of statement should be written in subclass to call the constructor having three parameters in superclass

Lets implement this on Eclipse IDE:

1.Create 'Superclass' superclass as shown below:

2. Create 'Subclass' subclass calling a constructor created in 'Superclass' using the 'super' keyword as shown  below:

3. Create 'SuperCallingConstructor' class which creates an object for 'Subclass' and calls the constructor created in 'Subclass' by passing few values during object creation itself as shown below:

4. Save and Run the 'SuperCallingConstructor' class
5. Observe that the output is displayed in the console as shown below:

We can also use:

• super(object) to pass objects while calling the constructor in superclass.
• super( ) to pass nothing while calling the constructor in superclass.
