It is also possible to use this keyword to invoke the current class constructor. Refer the given program. According to the above program, class A has a default constructor and a parameterized constructor. When creating an object of A, the parameterized constructor is called.
In the parameterized constructor, there is a statement like this ; It will call the current class constructor that is A. Inheritance is a major concept of Object Oriented Programming. It allows using the properties and methods of the already existing class to a new class. The already existing class is known as the parent class or superclass. The new class is known as the child class or subclass.
The super keyword can refer immediate parent class instance variable or invoke immediate parent class method. The super is used to invoke immediate parent class constructor. Assume that there are two classes as A and B. Class A is the superclass and class B is the subclass.
Class A, B both have display method. When creating an object of type B and calling the method display, it will give the output B. If the programmer wants to call the display method in class A, then he can use the super keyword. Refer the given Java program. According to the above program, class A has a variable named number with value Class B extends A and has a variable named number with value Generally, when creating an object of type B and calling the display method should give the number in the subclass because the superclass value is overridden by the new class.
These constructors are called from another class constructor using super when that class inherits from this abstract class. Note : A constructor can have only one of these two [this or super ] , but not both. I hope you have understood the different usage of this and super keywords along with this and super calls.

Vikram Gupta Follow. The program illustrates the use of this keyword :. The program illustrates the use of super keywords:.
Here is a sample program showing what is not valid within a Java program when a method is declared as final. Once a variable is assigned with the keyword final, it always contains the same exact value. Again things may happen like this; if a final variable holds a reference to an object then the state of the object can be altered if programmers perform certain operations on those objects, but the variable will always refer to the same object.
A final variable that is not initialized at the time of declaration is known as a blank final variable. If you are declaring a final variable in a constructor, then you must initialize the blank final variable within the constructor of the class. Otherwise, the program might show a compilation error. A final variable that is not initialized at the time of declaration is called the blank final variable. It can be initialized only in the constructor.

So in this case the superclass of ChildB will be returned. If the second argument is omitted, the super object returned is unbound. If the second argument is an object, then isinstance object, type must be true. If you are here and still confused, please read the answer by Aaron Hall you will leave this page much happier: stackoverflow.
I don't want to click to 1 million more places to find the answer to this. I'm trying to understand super The reason we use super is so that child classes that may be using cooperative multiple inheritance will call the correct next parent class function in the Method Resolution Order MRO. I further explain below. Criticisms of other answers: super lets you avoid referring to the base class explicitly, which can be nice.
I'll explain here. I'll still need to work my head around this super function, however, this answer is clearly the best in terms of depth and details. I also appreciate greatly the criticisms inside the answer. It also help to better understand the concept by identifying pitfalls in other answers. Thank you! Aaron Hall, thanks for so detailed information. I think there should be one more option available atleast to mentors to call some answer as inappropriate or incomplete if they do not provide correct sufficient information.
Thanks, this was super helpful. I have been using tk. I guess in the case of Tkinter classes tk. Show 3 more comments. It's been noted that in Python 3. AnjoMan AnjoMan 4, 4 4 gold badges 17 17 silver badges 27 27 bronze badges. What this answer suggests, super self.
Then you have an infinite recursion. This answer is ridiculous. If you're going to abuse super this way, you might as well just hardcode the base class name. It is less wrong than this. The whole point of first argument of super is that it's not necessarily the type of self. Please read "super considered super" by rhettinger or watch some of his videos. The shortcut demonstrated here for Python 2 has pitfalls that have been mentioned already.
