Answer / kabita
'this' and super are two keywords in java.
'this' doesn't support inheritance bt 'super' supports
inheritance.
this keyword is used in two cases
1.to differentiate betn instance and local variables.
2.calling of one constructor from another constructor.
Restriction:this keyword should be written in lowercase &
must used in firstline.more than one 'this' keyword is not
used in one block.
super is used 4 three reason.
1.differentiates betn superclass variable & child class
variables.
2.calling of superclass constructor in childclass
constructor.
3.it is also used in calling of superclass override method
in child class.
restriction:
it must be in 1stline.
must be in lowercase.

Answer / qim2010
this() is used to invoke a constructor of the same class
super() is used to invoke a super class constructor and
Example of using this():
public Pet(int id) {
this.id = id; // “this” means this object
}
public Pet (int id, String type) {
this(id); // calls constructor public Pet(int id)
this.type = type; // ”this” means this object
}
Example of using super():
If a class called “SpecialPet” extends your “Pet” class then
you can
use the keyword “super” to invoke the superclass’s
constructor. E.g.
public SpecialPet(int id) {
super(id); //must be the very first statement in the
constructor.
}
To call a regular method in the super class use:
“super.myMethod( );”. This can be called at any line.
