super.methodName

class MySuper {
  public void print() {
    System.out.println("Inside MySuper.print()");
  }/*from  www .  j  a  v  a  2  s  .c  om*/
}

class MySub extends MySuper {
  public void print() {
    // Call print() method of MySuper class
    super.print();

    // Print a message
    System.out.println("Inside MySub.print()");
  }

  public void callOverridenPrint() {
    // Call print() method of MySuper class
    super.print();
  }
