Java @Override Example

@Override 

@Override annotation informs the compiler that the element is meant to override an element declared in a superclass. Overriding methods will be discussed in Interfaces and Inheritance.

   // mark method as a superclass method
   // that has been overridden
   @Override
   int overriddenMethod() { }
While it is not required to use this annotation when overriding a method, it helps to prevent errors. If a method marked with @Override fails to correctly override a method in one of its superclasses, the compiler generates an error.
