To access the overridden method from superclass, use super keyword.
// Method overriding. class A {// ww w .ja va 2 s .c o m int i, j; A(int a, int b) { i = a; j = b; } // display i and j void show() { System.out.println("i and j: " + i + " " + j); } } class B extends A { int k; B(int a, int b, int c) { super(a, b); k = c; } void show() { super.show(); // this calls A's show() System.out.println("k: " + k); } } public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { B subOb = new B(1, 2, 3); subOb.show(); } }
