Use the word "final" directly preceding your method declaration. The presence of final keyword directs java to ensure that, this particular method would not be overridden by any of its child classes.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

You can prevent a method from being overridden by placing "final" in the method declaration like this:

public final void myMethod() { // do something return; }

You can also make prevent a entire class from being sub-classed using the "final" keyword like this

public final class MyClass{ //Class body }

to override a method present in super class/ interface, u can extend the class/ implement the interface and define that particular method with the same method signature and same or rarer checked exceptions. The definition of this overridden method can be specialized to achieve the specific behavior in the subclass.

When do you declare a method or class abstract in java?

when overriding of a class or a method is necessary, they can be declared as abstract


What is the difference between overloading and overriding methods in object?

Here are some of the most common differences between both of them. If you are working in Java for more than 1 year, you might be familiar with all of them but any way its good revision: 1) First and major difference between Overloading and Overriding is that former occur during compile time while later occur during runtime. 2) Second difference between Overloading and Overriding is that, you can overload method in same class but you can only override method in sub class. 3) Third difference is that you can overload static method in Java but you can not override static method in Java. In fact when you declare same method in Sub Class it's known as method hiding because it hide super class method instead of overriding it. 4) Overloaded methods are bonded using static binding and Type of reference variable is used, while Overridden method are bonded using dynamic bonding based upon actual Object. 5) Rules of Overloading and Overriding is different in Java. In order to overload a method you need to change its method signature but that is not required for overriding any method in Java.


It is an error to have a method with the same signature in both the super class and its subclass. True or false?

False. A method with the same signature in both the superclass and its subclass is known as method overriding, and is a valid concept in Java.


Is overriding a dynamic polymorphism in c plus plus or not?

In C++, overriding and function, method, or operator is a different thing than (dynamic) polymorphism, so overriding a polymorphic method is almost entirely possible.


What is function overriding in Java?

Method overriding is similar to method overloading, with a small difference. In overriding, a method in a parent class is overridden in the child class. The method in the child class will have the same signature as that of the parent class. Since the method in the child class has the same signature & name as the method of its parent class, it is termed as overriding. In situations where you may have to explicitly call the parent class method you can use the "super" keyword and for explicitly calling the current objects method you can use the "this" keyword.
