    • Only inherited methods can be overridden. Because overriding happens when a subclass re-implements a method inherited from a superclass, so only inherited methods can be overridden, that’s straightforward.
    • Final and static methods cannot be overridden. A final method means that it cannot be re-implemented by a subclass, thus it cannot be overridden.
    • The overriding method must have same argument list. Let’s see the following example: public class Animal { protected void eat(String food) { // animal eating code... } }
    • The overriding method must have same return type (or subtype). Suppose that a Foodclass has a subclass called DogFood, the following example shows a correct overriding
