The document discusses the super keyword and static keyword in Java. The super keyword refers to the immediate parent class object and is used to invoke parent class methods or constructors. The static keyword applies to variables, methods, blocks and nested classes and belongs to the class rather than object instances. Static variables are class variables that get memory only once and can be used for common properties not unique to each object.
