[FIXED] What does super() method do?

Issue

What does the super method do?

public DataFetch(Context context) {
    super();
    this.ctx = context;
}

Does this constructor make the context of the newly created object the context of the super class? Not 100% sure how this works. So would the super() method essentially just be saying "put me into super class mode" to say it in lay man's terms?

Solution

It says "initialize my parent class before you initialize me" by calling its default constructor.
