Does a swift subclass *always* have to call super.init()

Question

If I have a swift subclass that:

1. doesn\'t need to access self
2. doesn\'t need to access any properties on self

Do

Answer 1

I think you don't have to call super. I tried to simulate situation as follow:

class Animal {
}

class Parrot: Animal {

    override init() {
        // Some code (super not called)
    }
}

However, i would recommend to always call super.init in real app, like you use to do in Objective-C.
