In programming, particularly in Java, the this and super keywords have distinct purposes:
The **this** keyword is used within an instance method or a constructor to refer to the current object. It’s often used to eliminate ambiguity between class attributes and parameters with the same name, or to invoke other constructors of the same class in a process known as constructor chaining.
The **super** keyword is used to access members (methods or variables) of the parent class. It can be used to call the superclass’s constructor, and it’s also used when subclass methods want to call overridden methods in the superclass.
