Method overriding in Java allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is
already provided by its superclass. Here’s an example demonstrating method overriding along with its
explanation:

Procedure

TASK 1: Shape and its Subclasses
// Shape and its Subclasses using override method
class Shape {
void draw() {

System.out.println(“Drawing a shape”);
}
}
class Circle extends Shape {

// Overriding the draw method of the superclass
@Override
void draw() {
System.out.println(“Drawing a circle”);
}
}

class Rectangle extends Shape {
// Overriding the draw method of the superclass
@Override
void draw() {

System.out.println(“Drawing a rectangle”);
}
}
