What is the role of super and this in inheritance?

In Java inheritance, super and this serve different roles:

1. super:

   • Refers to the parent class.

   • Used to call the parent class’s constructor, methods, or variables.

   • Example: super() calls the parent class constructor.

2. this:

   • Refers to the current object (the instance of the class).

   • Used to call current class methods, constructors, or to access class members.

   • Example: this() calls the current class’s constructor.

In short:

super accesses the parent class.

this accesses the current class.
