Method overiding Introduction

Before we learn about method overriding, let’s take an example:


class Animal { 

public void makeSound() { 

System. out.println( "Making animal sound"); 

} } 

class Dog extends Animal { 

} 

class Main { 
          
public static void main(String[] args) { 
Dog dog1 = new Dog(); dog1.makeSound( );
} 
} 

// Output: Making animal sound 
/*Here, we have created an object dog1 of the Dog class.
We then used the dog1 object to call the method makeSound( ). 

Since the method is not present in the Dog class, the 
makeSound( ) method of the Animal super class is called. 

However, what will happen if the same method is also present 
in the subclass Dog? 

Let’s try it out in the next program */

Method overiding

let’s take an example of method overriding.


Class Animal { 

Public void makeSound(){ 

System.out.println( “Making animal sound”); 

} 
} 

Class Dog extends Animal { 

Public void makeSound() { 

System.out.println( “Woof woof”); 

} } 

Class Main { 

Public static void main(String[] args) { 

Dog dog1= new Dog(); dog1.makeSound( ); 

} } 

// Output: Woof woof
