Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
A superclass’s ------------------ members are accessible anywhere that the program has a reference to an object of that superclass or to an object of one of its subclasses.
The super keyword is used in a subclass constructor to explicitly control the superclass constructor that must be invoked before the execution of the subclass constructor proceeds. * True O False
True or False:Unlike other members of a superclass, constructors of a superclass are not inherited by its subclasses. This means that you must define a constructor for a class or use the default constructor added by the compiler.
