The base class constructor will _always_ be called. There's no
need to worry about it. Even if you hadn't declared one, the
compiler will provide a default constructor, because classes
have to have a constructor. And if you had declared a
constructor in your base class but no default constructor, then
you'd get a compile-time error if your derived class'
constructor didn't explicitly call it.

Oh right. I mean it makes sense but I got confused when super()
is valid syntax. Why would you need to call the super constructor
when it's called automatically?
