Subclass Method Narrows Access Modifier from Public to Protected In Java

Write a Java program to demonstrate method overriding with a subclass that overrides a method and narrows the access modifier from public to protected

Class hierarchy with a base class Animal and a subclass Dog. The makeSound method is declared in the Animal class and overridden in the Dog class. Here's a breakdown of what your code does:

Animal is a class with a protected method makeSound that prints "Animal makes a sound" to the console.
Dog is a subclass of Animal. It overrides the makeSound method with its own implementation, printing "Dog barks" to the console.
In the Main class, you create an instance of the Dog class and call the makeSound method on the dog object.

When you run the code, it will create a Dog object and call the makeSound method. Since the makeSound method is overridden in the Dog class, it will print "Dog barks" to the console.

Source Code

class Animal
{
    protected void makeSound()
	{
        System.out.println("Animal makes a sound");
    }
}
 
class Dog extends Animal
{
    @Override
    protected void makeSound()
	{
        System.out.println("Dog barks");
    }
}
 
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
	{
        Dog dog = new Dog();
        dog.makeSound();
    }
}

Output

Dog barks
