Hi, All. Here is the sequence of java access levels: public->protected->default->private
As public is the strongest so child's method can only be public. And it can throw only IOException or its subclasses or nothing at all. import java.io.IOException; class Farther{ public void FarthersMethod() throws IOException { throw new IOException(); } } class Son extends Farther{ public void FarthersMethod() throws IOException { } } The following is wrong: class Son extends Farther{ private void FarthersMethod() throws IOException { } } class Son extends Farther{ public void FarthersMethod() throws Exception { } } On Oct 18, 8:38 pm, Nirmal Kumar <nirmal.h...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Can anyone explain the following Method Overriding Rules in Java: > > The access level *cannot be more restrictive* than the overridden method's > access level. > However the access level *can be less restrictive* than the overridden > method's access level. > > The overridden method should not throw checked exceptions that are new or > broader than the ones declared by the overridden method. > The overriding method can throw narrower or fewer exceptions than the > overridden method. > > Please give an example if possible. > > Thanks, > Nirmal > > \\\/// > / \ > | \\ // | > ( | (.)
