how to use super keyword within the main method.

[Padma Asrani]

Hi

I wrote the following code. I dont know if it is valid.

    
class Animal{
public void print(){
System.out.println("Animal print method");
}
}
 
public class Horse extends Animal{
public void print(){
//super.print();
System.out.println("Horse specific Print method");
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
Horse s = new Horse();
s.super.print();
                s.print();
 
}
}

Regards
PAdma

According to JLS 15.11.2 Accessing Superclass Members using super...

The special forms using the keyword super are valid only in an instance method, instance initializer or constructor, or in the initializer of an instance variable of a class; these are exactly the same situations in which the keyword this may be used (�15.8.3).
