Use of 'super' keyword when accessing non-overridden superclass methods

Question

I\'m trying to get the hang of inheritance in Java and have learnt that when overriding methods (and hiding fields) in sub classes, they can still be accessed from the super

Answer 1

This would be dependent on how you plan to use the code. If you specify super.getTyreCost() and then later override that method. You will still be calling the method on the superclass, not the overridden version.

In my opinion, calling super is likely to lead to more confusion later on, so is probably best specified only if you have an explicit need to do so. However, for the case you have presented here - there will be no difference in behavior.
