I am confused while understanding this Annotation. i don’t know what is the use of this Annotation. Please help me in Understanding the concept of @Override annotation.

What i have Tried

  1. i already search on google about this annotation but nothing found Helpful.
  2. i contacted many developer about this annotation but Still not found something.

What i know about this annotation

According to me, i know that it is used to call a method which is already created in another class which needs extend or import. And it have also a Super() method to pass the method’s parameters.

@ Override @ Override annotation informs the compiler that the element is meant to override an element declared in a superclass. … If a method marked with @ Override fails to correctly override a method in one of its superclasses, the compiler generates an error.

We use @Override in Java because it instruct the compiler that we are overriding the method. If we don’t use the @Override, then the sub class method may behave as a new method in sub class(also called as child class).
