RunTime PolyMorphism./late Binding/Dynamic Polymorphism/Overriding.

Whenever parent class and child class having same method name and same parameters
then we can call it as method overriding.

Method Overriding:

Definition: Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific


implementation for a method that is already provided by its superclass.
The method in the subclass has the same signature (name, return type, and
parameters) as the method in the superclass.
Key Points:
The methods in the superclass and subclass must have the same name, return type,
and parameter list.

Overriding is determined at runtime (dynamic polymorphism).

Example :

package methodOverriding;

public class Parent {

public void m1() {


System.out.println("m1 method of Parent class");
}
}

package methodOverriding;

public class Child extends Parent {

public void m2() {


System.out.println("m2 method of Child class");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Parent p = new Parent();


p.m1();
// p.m2();

Child c = new Child();


c.m1();
c.m2();

Parent p1 = new Child();


p1.m1();
// p1.m2();

// Child c1=new Parent();

}
}

}
Example :

package methodOverriding;

public class Parent {

public void m1() {


System.out.println("m1 method of Parent class");
}

package methodOverriding;

public class Child extends Parent {

public void m1() {


System.out.println("m1 method of Child class");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Parent p = new Parent();


p.m1();

Child c = new Child();


c.m1();

Parent p1 = new Child();


p1.m1();

// Child c1=new Parent();

}
}

Example : retrun must be same in method overriding

package methodOverriding;

public class Parent {

public int m1() {


System.out.println("m1 method of Parent class");
return 0;
}

package methodOverriding;
public class Child extends Parent {

public void m1() {


System.out.println("m1 method of Child class");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Parent p = new Parent();


p.m1();

Child c = new Child();


c.m1();

Parent p1 = new Child();


p1.m1();

// Child c1=new Parent();

}
}

Example :

package methodOverriding;

public class Parent {

public void m1(int a) {


System.out.println("m1 method of Parent class");
}

package methodOverriding;

public class Child extends Parent {

public void m1() {


System.out.println("m1 method of Child class");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Parent p = new Parent();


p.m1(12);

Child c = new Child();


c.m1();

Parent p1 = new Child();


p1.m1(12);

// Child c1=new Parent();

}
}
