super keyword

[Satyajeet Kadam]

If your method overrides one of its superclass's methods, you can invoke the overridden method through the use of the keyword super.

Q1) In below example why we are able use super keyword to invoke super class version of overloaded method ?

  
package dev;

/**
 *
 * @author satyajeet
 */
public class Goti
{
  public void methodA(String s)
  {
      System.out.println("In goti");
  }
}

package dev;

/**
 *
 * @author satyajeet
 */
public class Sakshi extends Goti
{
   public void methodA(Integer s)  // overloaded method
   {
      super.methodA("me");  // calling super class version 
     System.out.println("In sakshi");
   }

   public static void main(String[] s)
   {
    Sakshi ref =new Sakshi();
     
     ref.methodA(new Integer(1));   
  } 
}

Yes, but you can use that keyword to call any accessible method in the super class, despite it was overridden or not.
