Super is used to call the parent classes initialize method from the childs initialize method. super has following forms of implementation.
1. Calling only the super means, call the parents initialize method by passing all the parameters passed to childs initialize method that are passed when new is called.

2. Calling the super with brackets i.e., super(), calls the parents initialize method by not passing any parameters.

3. Calling super(x, y) with specific arguments, calls the parents initialize method by passing parameters that are needed from the childs initialize method. The order and no. of parameters passed is maintained. see examples
