What is method overriding in Java?

Rating:

In a class hierarchy, when the subclass method has the same name and signature as its superclass method, the method in the subclass is said to override the method in the superclass. This phenomenon is known as method overriding.

An example of method overriding is given below:

class Superclass {
  void show() {  }
 }
 class Subclass extends Superclass {
  void show() {  }
}

Here, show() is the overridden method.
