Method Overriding and the final Keyword

Method Overriding and the final Keyword

Learn about method overriding and when to use the final keyword.

Apart from having its own properties and methods, a child class can override the properties and methods of the parent class.

Overriding properties and methods

When we override a class’s properties and methods, we use the child class to rewrite a method or property that exists in the parent class but assign it a different value or code.

Example

In the example below, we create a hello() method in the parent class that returns the string beep. We override this method in the child class with a method of the same name that returns the string Hallo.
