Accepted Answer

Overriding a method in a subclass can be achieved by simply changing the method's parameter list.

Answer

An overridden method in the subclass must have the exact same name and parameter list as the method in the superclass.

Answer

The @Override annotation helps catch errors in the method signature when overriding.

Answer

Method overriding enables polymorphism by allowing the subclass to provide a specialized implementation.
