super.index gives error

[MohsinHijazee]

Hello!
I'm having a strange problem.

class Super

def index
puts "some code"
end
end

class Base < Super

def index
super.index() # Says you super is nil! nil.index and an
error. What might be wrong?
end
end

Technically, Super is also the `base' class, so I named it Sub. Just use
`super' -- super calls the method of the same name in the superclass.
