Answer / qim2010
this() is used to invoke a constructor of the same class
super() is used to invoke a super class constructor and
Example of using this():
public Pet(int id) {
this.id = id; // “this” means this object
}
public Pet (int id, String type) {
this(id); // calls constructor public Pet(int id)
this.type = type; // ”this” means this object
}
Example of using super():
If a class called “SpecialPet” extends your “Pet” class then
you can
use the keyword “super” to invoke the superclass’s
constructor. E.g.
public SpecialPet(int id) {
super(id); //must be the very first statement in the
constructor.
}
To call a regular method in the super class use:
“super.myMethod( );”. This can be called at any line.

Answer / sushila sonare
When we create an object, first constructor called. In a
constructor first statement should be either this() or
super(). If we didn't keep anything compiler kept super()
statement so constructor chain will be completed. Control
goes to Object class constructor and object creation will
completed. Suppose this() statement kept in constructor than
current class suitable constructor called and this chain
will be continue until control goes to Object class
constructor.
