What is meant by Method Overriding?

Method overriding happens if the sub-class method satisfies the below conditions with the Super-class method:

• Method name should be the same
• The argument should be the same
• Return type should also be the same

The key benefit of overriding is that the Sub-class can provide some specific information about that sub-class type than the super-class.

Example:

public class Manipulation{ //Super class
public void add(){
………………
}
}

Public class Addition extends Manipulation(){
Public void add(){
………..
}
Public static void main(String args[]){
Manipulation addition = new Addition(); //Polimorphism is applied
addition.add(); // It calls the Sub class add() method
}
}
addition.add() method calls the add() method in the Sub-class and not the parent class. So it overrides the Super-class method and is known as Method Overriding.
