How can I invoke super class's method

Ruby
1

My class include a Module and overwrite a method of the Module. In this
method, I want to invoke the Module’s method first. Just like
“super.method()” in Java. How can I do this?

Just the word super().
module M
def q(arg)
#
end
end
class K
include M
def q(arg)
#
super(arg)
end
end

super() calls ancestor’s function with the same name as the function
you’re currently in.

Keep in mind, though, that the semantics of super (which is a keyword,
rather than a method) are a bit different from regular method-calling
semantics:

super # call ancestor’s method with current arguments
super(a,b) # call with exactly the arguments (a,b)
super() # call with no arguments

It’s really the first one that’s the special case, as you can see.
