How can I override default methods in my code?

How can I override default methods in my code?

To override default methods, you typically need to create a subclass and implement the method with the same signature.

Can you give me an example in Python?

Sure! If you have a class Animal with a method speak, you can override it in a subclass like this:

class Animal:
    def speak(self):
        return 'Some sound'

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return 'Bark'

Here, Dog overrides the speak method.

What about in Java?

In Java, you can override a method like this:

class Animal {
    void speak() {
        System.out.println("Some sound");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    @Override
    void speak() {
        System.out.println("Bark");
    }
}

The @Override annotation is used to indicate that you are overriding a method.

Are there any rules I should follow when overriding methods?

Yes, when overriding methods, ensure that the method name, return type, and parameters match the original method. Also, the access level should be the same or more accessible.
