Over riding methods

Question

So i have an abstract class called Person which has a toString method in it as so
     public String toString()
          String persDetails = "First Name: " + firstName +"\n" +
                                   "Last Name: " + lastName +"\n";
          return persDetails;
     }Then i have another class which extends Person. I need to over ride the above toString method. Now normally overriding is just writing a new method with the same signature, with what ever u put in it being the new method. What i need to do is override and call the toString method defined in the superclass, and add barcode variable to it. I cant use a super keyword in a method can i? So how would adding, rather than replacing to an overridden method work?

That may be true.
You're wrong.To clarify, you are allowed to use super.method() in a method and it can be done.
