Java Inheritance method Hide (overwrite)

Method Hide

A class inherits all non-private static methods from its superclass. The static method of redefining inheritance in subclasses is called method shadowing. A redefined static method in a subclass hides a static method of its superclass. Redefining a non-static method in a class is called a method override.
All rules about method-hidden redefinition methods (name, access level, return type, and exception) are the same as method overrides.
