when we use inheritance in Java does overriding happen automatically ????

Question

java

Answer 1

No, you need to create an overriding method (with the @Override annotation) within the child class. Nothing is overridden automatically.

The overriding instance method has to have the same name as the method being overridden.

Edit: I might add, that everything is *inherited* automatically.

Answer 2

Depends on some factors... See here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/override.html

Answer 3

overriding of the methods should be done by the programmer. but the binding itself is done automatically and it is called dynamic binding. unlike c++ where the programmer should code for dynamic binding.

Answer 4

You mean without doing what?
