The Class Hierarchy, continued

A class may override a method it inherits from its superclass.
If a class overrides myMethod(parameters), you may call the version of myMethod(parameters) defined in the superclass as super.myMethod(arguments)
By default, every constructor of MyClass calls super() as it's first line.
You may explicitly call another constructor of MyClass's superclass in a constructor, but it must be the first line.
