Java - Inheritance

Which of the following is the correct syntax to override a method in Java?

class Parent {
    void show() { System.out.println("Parent"); }
}
class Child extends Parent {
    ?
}

Aprivate void show() { System.out.println("Child"); }

B@Override void show() { System.out.println("Child"); }

Cvoid Show() { System.out.println("Child"); }

Dvoid show(int x) { System.out.println("Child"); }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check method signature and annotation
To override, method name and parameters must match exactly. Using @Override annotation helps catch mistakes.
Step 2: Analyze options
private void show() { System.out.println("Child"); } uses private access modifier, narrowing from package-private (not allowed for overriding; causes hiding). void show(int x) { System.out.println("Child"); } changes parameters (overloading). void Show() { System.out.println("Child"); } has method name mismatch ('Show' vs 'show' due to case sensitivity). @Override void show() { System.out.println("Child"); } matches method signature exactly and uses @Override correctly.
Final Answer:
@Override void show() { System.out.println("Child"); } -> Option B
Quick Check:
@Override + same signature = correct override [OK]

Quick Trick: Use @Override and same method signature to override [OK]
