Overriding Methods
Explore the concept of method overriding in Java by learning how subclass methods replace superclass methods with the same signature. Understand how this technique supports polymorphism by directing method calls to the appropriate subclass implementations, improving code flexibility and reuse.

What is method overriding?
Method overriding occurs when a public method in a subclass has the same method signature (method name, parameter type list, and return type) as a public method in the superclass. For example:
// parent class
public class A
{
public void func()
{
// do something
}
}
// child class
public class B extends A
{
public void func()
{
// do something
}
