'This' is used to refer to the current object and resolve ambiguity in variable names, while 'super' is used to access properties of the parent class. Examples illustrate how these keywords function in class constructors and methods.

 In java, this keyword is used to THIS


refer the current Object inside a KEYWORDS
method or a constructor. IN JAVA
USING THIS FOR AMBIGUITY VARIABLE NAMES
In java, it is not allowed to declare two variables
having the same name inside a scope
Example:
class test
USE
{ OF
int a;
class(int a)
THIS
{ KEYWORD
a=a;
}
}
In the above program, the
instance variable and a
parameter have the same name:
a .Here, the java compiler is
confused due to name
ambiguity.In such a situation, we
use this keyword
Using this keyword
Example: Class text
class text {
{ int age;
int age; test (int age)
test(int age) {
{ this.age= age;
age=age; }
} public static void main( String[] args)
public static void main( String[] args) {
{ test obj= new test(8);
test obj= new test(8); System.out.println("Age:"+obj.age);
System.out.println("Age:"+obj.age); }
} }
}
OUTPUT:
OUTPUT: Age: 8
Age: 0
SUPER

SUPER access the parent class or super
KEYWORD
class, of a subclass.
 Used to refer to the superclass properties from
subclass
 We can refer only to the immediate superclass
USAGE OF  It is optional to use super keyword when the

 It is mandatory to user super keyword when the
subclass non static member names and super
class non static member names one same
System.out.println(this.y);
Class Demo System.out.println(super.x);
{ System.out.println(super.y);
}
int x=10; }
int y=20; class Demo2 extends Demo
{
} int x=111;
class Demo2 extends Demo
int y=222;
Public void Print()
{ {
int x=1;
int x=100;
EXAMPLE int y=200;
int y=2;
System.out.println(x);
System.out.println(y);
Public void Display()
System.out.println(this.x);
{ System.out.println(this.y);
System.out.println(super.x);
int x=11;
System.out.println(super.y);}}
int y=12; Class Main class
{
System.out.println(x);
Demo3 d3= new Demo3();
System.out.println(y); d3.Print();
d3.Display();
System.out.println(this.x); }
