Java @Override Annotation

In Java, the @Override annotation is used to indicate that a method is intended to override a method in a superclass. This annotation is optional, but it is generally considered good practice to use it because it helps to catch mistakes and ensure that the code is correct.

Here is an example of how the @Override annotation can be used:

import java.util.List;

public class MyClass extends SuperClass {
  @Override
  public void doSomething(List<String> list) {
    // code goes here
  }
}

In this example, the doSomething method in the MyClass class is intended to override the doSomething method in the SuperClass. By annotating the doSomething method with @Override, the compiler will generate an error if the method does not actually override a method in the superclass.

The @Override annotation is also useful when working with interfaces, as it can help to ensure that the correct methods are implemented.
