Recommended Articles. There are many good answers here, so let me offer another way to look at it Bill K Bill K Besides, if Override is some burdensome, you are probably over-using inheritance.
One very real downside is that you make the code harder to read by littering it with snails. Perhaps this is a fault of my IDE, but I have experienced this myself. They should just be a single line above your method header which should be about as big as your method in most cases a few lines to provide decent hover text and javadocs. I guess I'm saying that the problem is not the Snails, it's your reading habits.
Are all those parentheses in the code bothering you as well? Yes, there is overkill in coding: when you write comments that just parrots what the code obviously does. It will catch things like tostring instead of toString The little things help in large projects. Best answer. Short and sweet. I wish you could explain though how the "safeguard" works It's simple to explain. If you make a mistake either by changing the interface, abstract class or subclass, you'll get either a warning such as in Eclipse or a compile-time error telling you that your Override isn't working.
The actual error message will be dependent upon what was changed, but in Eclipse for example it's very clear very quickly that there's a problem: you'll see that little red zigzag underline, and a hover over the offending text will tell you what is wrong. I call that Good Value. Donal Fellows k 18 18 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Using Override when actually overriding a method in a superclass is fine.

Nilsen 1, 9 9 silver badges 13 13 bronze badges. Diastrophism Diastrophism Steve R. Using Override on an interface will force you to notice when a method in the interface is removed.
Alex: Removing methods in an interface is a breaking change, like adding them. Once an interface is published, it's effectively locked in unless you have complete control over all the code using it. Whenever a method overrides another method, or a method implements a signature in an interface.

Hank Gay Hank Gay The best practive is to always use it or have the IDE fill them for you Override usefulness is to detect changes in parent classes which has not been reported down the hierarchy.
That kind of safety net is always good to have. David Pierre David Pierre. So, if you change the parent method, and your not using Override in the child class's method, will the compile say anything or remain silent?
Will the use of "Override" give you more information, and if so, what? Used only on method declarations. Indicates that the annotated method declaration overrides a declaration in supertype. If used consistently, it protects you from a large class of nefarious bugs.
I'd write b. Did you know that your link shows a 'you must subscribe' message covering the useful part of that page? Adriano: Sorry dude!! Am helpless!! When I wrote the 'answer', it was available. No worries.. It's worth to have it!! The equals method does not override: The original Object::equals is boolean equals Object , while the overridden equals is boolean equals Bigram , which has a different method signature, which does not override. Adding Override to the equals will detect this blunder.

This program will throw a compile time error since b's reference type Animal doesn't have a method by the name of bark. The return type should be the same or a subtype of the return type declared in the original overridden method in the superclass. The access level cannot be more restrictive than the overridden method's access level.
For example: If the superclass method is declared public then the overridding method in the sub class cannot be either private or protected.
A subclass within the same package as the instance's superclass can override any superclass method that is not declared private or final. A subclass in a different package can only override the non-final methods declared public or protected.
An overriding method can throw any uncheck exceptions, regardless of whether the overridden method throws exceptions or not.
