Method Overriding

Method overriding is a fundamental concept in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. This mechanism is a key aspect of runtime polymorphism, enabling Java to decide at runtime which method implementation to execute based on the actual object's type. Method overriding enhances the flexibility and reusability of code by allowing subclasses to modify or extend the behavior of their superclasses.
