	Method overriding (programming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Method overriding, in object oriented programming, is a language feature that allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its superclasses.
		This means that the subclass's method has the same name, parameter list, and return type as the superclass's overridden method.
		Method overriding is an important feature that facilitates polymorphism in the design of object-oriented programs.

	The Essence of OOP Using Java, Inheritance, Part 2
		Method overriding is used to modify the behavior of a method of the Radio class named playStation, to cause that method to behave appropriately when a tape has been inserted into the tape player.
		When a method is invoked on a reference to an object, it is the type of the object (and not the type of the variable containing the reference to the object) that is used to determine which version of the method is actually invoked.

		With runtime polymorphism based on method overriding, the decision as to which version of a method will be executed is based on the actual type of the object whose reference is stored in the reference variable or element, and not on the type of the reference variable or element on which the method is invoked.

	Method Overriding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		A method in a subclass can have the same name, arguments and result type as a method in its superclass.
		In this case the method in the subclass is said to override the method in the superclass.
		Every call to the method identifier will then invoke the overriding method, even when the static type of a variable is the superclass.

	[Chapter 3] 3.7 Overriding Methods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		When the method is invoked for an object of the class, it is the new definition of the method that is called, not the superclass' old definition.
		Method overriding is an important and useful technique in object-oriented programming.
		methods that can be invoked directly are also candidates for inlining--i.e., if the methods are short, the compiler may simply insert the method body into the code rather than inserting a call to the method.

	Overriding and Hiding Methods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		(Remember that a method's signature is its name and the number and the type of its arguments.) The ability of a subclass to override a method allows a class to inherit from a superclass whose behavior is "close enough" and then to modify behavior as needed.
		When writing a method that has the same name as a method in a superclass, double check the return values and the argument lists to make sure that you are overloading or overriding as you intended.
		For instance methods, the runtime system invokes the method defined in the runtime type of the reference on which the method is called.

	The Programming Language Paradigm/SP
		A method itself can contain declarations of other entities (such as constants, types, variables, and other methods) that are private for the enclosing method and cannot be exported.
		During program execution a block is activated when a process evaluates a function designator or executes a procedure statement or module.
		The distinction between a variable as a syntactic entity in the program text and a class of dynamic entities in memory is usually clear from the context.

		This method as the name suggests returns a String representation of an object (the default is like an ID code for an object).
		All we do is create a method in the child class with the same name and parameters as the method in the parent class.
		This works because when a method is called on an object, the search for which method to execute starts in the actual class of the object, and then moves up to the super-class if it can't find a method with matching name and parameters.

		Although Java treats the fields and methods of a class analogously in many ways, method overriding is not like field shadowing at all.

		(Recall that overloaded methods are methods of the same class that have the same name but different signatures) A method defined in a superclass may be overridden in its subclass to provide a more appropriate implementation for the subclass objects.
		If a superclass method is not overridden in a subclass, then the subclass uses the method from its superclass.
		If the method is not overridden in the immediate superclass, then the one from that class’ superclass is used, etc., and so on up the class hierarchy.

		Such a method is called an abstract method or pure virtual function, since it only defines the interface and no implementation.
		If we don’t override one of these methods, we’ll generate a syntax error in the subclass and it won’t compile.
		If we never intend to reuse the code that implements these methods as we create new classes then the interface approach is fine, but if we want code reuse within subclasses inheritance is the way to go.

		dedicates six methods to working with a stack trace -- a sequence of method-call stack frames (where each stack frame describes an incomplete method call) and related source code information that identify the location of code responsible for throwing an exception object.
		To describe an exception that originates from a program, such as a failed attempt to write to a file or an attempt to access a nonexistent array element, either the program or the JVM creates an object from a class in that subhierarchy.
		Programs must handle checked exceptions because programs can't guarantee such exceptions won't occur.

		In an extreme case, for example, the object might be deserialized at runtime from a network connection of which the compiler has no knowledge.
		The type of the reference variable must also be a class that either defines or inherits the method that will ultimately be invoked on the object.
