The keyword super

Problem

When the keyword cannot be used

Given the following class hierarchy, select all illegal usages of the keyword super:

class A {

    protected int a;
}

class B extends A {

    protected int b;
    
    public B(int a, int b) {
        super();     // 1
        super.a = a; // 2
        super.b = b; // 3
    }
}

class C extends B {

    protected int c;

    public C(int a, int b) {
        super(a); // 4
    }
    
    public C(int a) {
        super(a, 10); // 5
    }
}

Select one or more options from the list

[] 1
[] 2
[x] 3
[x] 4
[] 5

Correct.

Hint & Explain

Check whether the parent has the same type/number of parameterized constructors or not.
