Method Overriding
changing a parent's method in child with different action/behavior (method arguments and return type must be the same).  You can only override methods from parent which are declared as public in parent; child does not see any methods defined in parent as private.

Example of Method Overriding:

//here is the parent class

public class Info {
   private int type;

    public int tryIt(int i) {
      return i;
   }

}

//here is the child class
//and the overidden method tryIt
//in the child -- same return, same args, different
//action in body

public class NewInfo extends Info {
   private int type;

    public int tryIt(int i) {
      int x;
      x = i * 5;
      return x;
   }
}
