Super Bowl Champ Logan Ryan Foster Four Kittens From Florida Rescue

If we're using a class method, we don't have an instance to call super with. Fortunately for us, super works even with a type as the second argument. --- the type can be passed directly to.

I found this example of code where super. variable is used: As for chaining super::super, as i mentionned in the question, i have still to find an interesting use to that. For now, i only see it as a hack, but it was worth mentioning, if only for the differences. In fact, multiple inheritance is the only case where super() is of any use. I would not recommend using it with classes using linear inheritance, where it's just useless overhead.
