In this chapter, we will take a look at two keywords: super and this. We will pick examples and explain how they are put to use in various situations while writing our Java code. We will also take a look at exceptions and how we can use them to handle situations where the code fails due to some error. We'll wrap up the chapter with a section on the finally block.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• The super keyword
• Practical usage of the super keyword
• Importance of the this keyword
• Different kinds of exceptions
• The try...catch mechanism to handle exceptions
• Importance of the finally block in Java
