Override

1. The key benefit of overriding is the ability to define behavior that's specific to a particular subclass type. 2. You must implement the abstract method in the subclass unless the subclass is also abstract. 3. The overriding method cannot have a more restrictive access modifier. (Think of polymorphism) 4. The argument list must exactly match 5. The return type must be the same as, or a subtype of, the return type declared in the original overridden method in the superclass. 6. Exception: any unchecked exception (runtime) or narrower and fewer checked exceptions 7. cannot override a method marked static. ???
