Java Inheritance: Super Keyword & Execution Flow Explained

Day 33 – Java Inheritance: super Keyword & Execution Flow Today’s focus was limited to understanding how Java handles constructor execution and the role of the super keyword. Key learnings: 🔹 super Keyword Used to invoke parent class constructors. If not written explicitly, Java automatically inserts super() as the first statement. 🔹 Constructor Execution Flow Object creation follows a strict sequence: Parent class constructor → Child class constructor This ensures proper initialization across the hierarchy. 🔹 Default Behavior Even without explicitly calling super(), the parent constructor is always executed first. 💻 Practiced tracing execution flow step-by-step using simple class hierarchies to clearly understand how control moves during object creation. Core takeaway: Execution flow in inheritance is deterministic. If you don’t understand it, you’re guessing how your code runs. Grateful to Harshit T Sir and TAP Academy for the clear explanation. #Java #OOP #Inheritance #SuperKeyword #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #LearningInPublic #TAPAcademy
