Override Method

Inheritance in Kotlin lets you create new classes, or subclasses, that inherit properties and behaviors from existing classes, or superclasses. But subclasses aren’t just copycats! They can add their own unique properties and methods, making them more specialized than their superclasses.

Benefits

Method overriding is a powerful tool that promotes code reusability, flexibility, and polymorphism, leading to well-structured and maintainable code.
