Method Overriding

Learn how subclasses redefine methods of the parent to change or extend behavior.

Definition

Method overriding means redefining a parent method in a subclass. The method has the same name, parameters, and return type, but a new body. This lets each subclass provide specific behavior.

Why override?

Overriding allows customization. For example, both Dog and Cat are Animals, but each makes a different sound. Instead of writing new method names, they override the same one for consistent usage.
