What are some common mistakes in method overriding?

What are some common mistakes in method overriding?

Some common mistakes include not using the correct method signature, failing to call the superclass method, and not understanding polymorphism.

Can you explain why the method signature is important?

The method signature must match the superclass method exactly; otherwise, it won't override it, leading to unexpected behavior.

What happens if I forget to call the superclass method?

If you forget to call the superclass method, you may lose important functionality or state management that the superclass provides.

Are there any best practices for method overriding?

Yes, always ensure the method signature matches, use the @Override annotation, and understand the implications of polymorphism.
