‘Super Sentai’ as We Know It May Come to an End After 50 Years
Super Sentai is easily the most famous subgenre of Tokusatsu. This Japanese term refers to live action films and shows that make heavy use of special effects. Typically, these shows involve fantasy, ...
super() is a special use of the super keyword where you call a parameterless parent constructor. In general, the super keyword can be used to call overridden methods, access hidden fields or invoke a superclass's constructor.

357 The benefits of super() in single-inheritance are minimal -- mostly, you don't have to hard-code the name of the base class into every method that uses its parent methods. However, it's almost impossible to use multiple-inheritance without super(). This includes common idioms like mixins, interfaces, abstract classes, etc.
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.
I'm currently learning about class inheritance in my Java course and I don't understand when to use the super() call? Edit: I found this example of code where super.variable is used: class A { ...
