Today i have learnt about the concept of overriding in java and understanding the problem of overriding.

Method Overriding in Java

If subclass (child class) has the same method as declared in the parent class, it is known as method overriding in java.

Usage of Java Method Overriding

• Method overriding is used to provide specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its super class.
• Method overriding is used for runtime polymorphism

Rules for Java Method Overriding

1. method must have same name as in the parent class
2. method must have same parameter as in the parent class.
3. must be IS-A relationship (inheritance).
