Explain Method overriding with example?

Method overriding is a feature in object-oriented programming that allows a subclass to provide a different implementation for a method that is already defined in its superclass. This is done to change the behavior of the method in the subclass.

Here's a simple example in Java:

class Animal {
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("The animal makes a sound");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    // This method overrides the method in the parent class
    @Override
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("The dog barks");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Animal myDog = new Dog(); // Create a Dog object
        myDog.sound(); // Calls the sound() method in Dog class
    }
}

In this example, the sound() method in the Dog class overrides the sound() method in the Animal class. When sound() is called on an object of type Dog, the overriding method in the Dog class is executed, and "The dog barks" is printed to the console.
