Access superclass variable using super

[Mayuri Son]

Hi,
Can we access superclass variable of the same name as one in the subclass using keyword super?
Let me explain clearly. If I have a superclass and there is a variable, with identifier i. Now if "subclass" extends "superclass" and has a variable named i. So is it possible to access superclass variable i using super.i (As we were doing in C++)
I have a book, it says "super is used to refer to the members of superclass, both data attributes
and methods"
But when I tried in a java program and it gives me errors
Thanks in advance

Try this.

class A {
  static int i1 = 1;
  int i2 = 2;
  static int m1() {return 3;};
  int m2(){return 4;};
}
class B extends A {
  static int i1 = 5;
  int i2 = 6;
  static int m1() {return 7;};
  int m2() {return 8;};
  void m3() {
    System.out.print(""+i1+i2+m1()+m2());
    System.out.print(""+super.i1+super.i2+super.m1()+super.m2());
  }
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    new B().m3();
  }
}
