Invoking Overridden Methods
A subclass method may invoke a superclass method using the
super keyword:
• The keyword super is used in a class to refer to its
superclass.
• The keyword super is used to refer to the members of
superclass, both data attributes and methods.
• Behavior invoked does not have to be in the superclass;
it can be further up in the hierarchy.
