In Java, how to I call a base class's method from the overriding method in a derived class?

Question

Hello everybody, I have two Java classes : B, which extends another class A, as follows :

class A
{
    public void myMethod()
    { /* ... */ }
}

class B extends A
{
    public void myMethod()
    { /* Another code */ }
}

I would like to call the A.myMethod() from the B.myMethod(). I am coming from the C++ world, and I don't know how to do this basic thing in Java :( If someone can help :) Thanks.

call super.myMethod();

The keyword you're looking for is super. See this guide, for instance.

Just call it using super.

    public void myMethod()
    {
        // B stuff
        super.myMethod();
        // B stuff
    }

Use the super keyword.
