Can you explain what method overriding means in object-oriented programming?

Method overriding is a mechanism in object-oriented programming where a subclass provides its own implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass.

This allows modifying or extending the behavior of inherited methods for specific subclass needs.

Example in Java:

class Animal {
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Some sound");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    @Override
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Bark");
    }
}

Here, the sound() method in the Dog class overrides the method from Animal to produce a sound characteristic of a dog.
