Super is a Keyword not a Method.

Super is a keyword which is used to execute an overridden method in the super class.

With super(), the superclass no-argument constructor is called.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class a
{
     m1()
     {
          sop("Super Class");
     
     }
}

class b extends a
{
     m1()
     {
          super.m1();
          sop("Sub Class");

     }
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         b b1 =new b();
         b1.m1();
      }
}

O/P is:
Super Class
Sub Class
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wth super(parameter list), the superclass constructor with a matching parameter list is called.


For example:

class a
{
     m1(p1,p2)
     {
          //LOGIC
    
     }
}

class b extends a
{
     m1(p1,p2)
     {
          super.m1(p1,p2);
     }
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         b b1 =new b();
         b1.m1(p1,p2);
  }

}

Yup SUPER is one of a keyword in Java...

this is basically used to concern Base class variables(Member's) & Functions(Method's)
in derived one class...


This Feature is only supported by JAVA not avlbl in C++.

Yes, super is a keyword. Using this keyword  we can call our super class constructor.

Yes, super is a keyword.
Super is used to call the method in the base class which is same as in the child class.

This is an example of run-time polymorphism. Occurs in method overridden .

Super is a keyword, it is not a method, it never works under static class.
whenever we extends class from base class there is possbility of getting same feature in to the derived class. In that situation JVM gets ambiguity to call the methods to avoid ambiguity SUN Microsystems provided keyword called Super.

super is a keyword in Java because it is defined as keyword in java and super is not a keyword or variable which belongs to any class.

This is basically used to call the constructor of the base class. It is a method of course.
