When we initialize a subclass, we first need to initialize the properties in our base class, then call the super class'

Unless I'm really missing the point, it seems that "initializing the properties in our base [super] class" and "calling the super class' initializer" amount to the same thing. The way you initialize the properties of the base class from the subclass is to call the super class's initializer. So saying we do one and then the other is really misleading.

But they may have meant "initializing the properties in our sub class", and if so, then true is the right answer.

There's an example in the Swift documentation for class inheritance and initialization, but the subclass doesn't have any properties of its own. So I took the liberty of adding one (airpump):

class Vehicle {
    var numberOfWheels = 0
    var description: String {
        return "\(numberOfWheels) wheel(s)"
    }
}

class Bicycle: Vehicle {
    var airpump: Bool

     override init() {
        airpump = true
        super.init()
        numberOfWheels = 2
    }
}

If you try to call super,init() before initializing airpump you will get an error.

The point of the example in the documentation is that you cannot modify a superclass property (numberOfWheels) before you have called the superclass's initializer and let it do its job first.
