In this course, you will learn about method overriding, including the use of the super keyword from contexts other than within constructions, and also examine the behavior of static methods. To start, participants learn how to apply method overriding and recognize the concept of hiding, and use the super keyword inside any method invocation in the derived class. This follows on to the use of advanced forms of overriding, combining method overriding with complex inheritance hierarchies. Study static methods and static binding, recognizing that static methods do not support run-time polymorphism. Examine pitfalls to avoid with static methods by learning to recognize how static methods are bound using compile-time rather than run-time binding. Learn how to correctly override the method .toString, which is inherited from java.lang.Object, and describe how the .equals method and the == operator are related. Explore how to correctly override the .hashCode method and write the code to correctly override the .equals method, inherited from java.lang.Object. Finally, after studying the link between equals and hashCode, discover how to implement the .hashCode contract.
