syntax - Java - what is "@Override" used for? -
possible duplicate:
what's “@override” there in java?
i've never put "@override" before method until now. see code examples it, don't understand utility. i'd love explanation.
many thanks,

first, can't annotate class @override
. annotation indicates method declaration intended override method declaration in superclass.
you don't have annotate overriding methods but if use annotation , annotated method does not override superclass method, compiler generate error message.
