AI-generated Key Takeaways
@Override is an annotation used to indicate that a method is intended to override a method in its supertype.
The compiler generates an error if the annotated method doesn't override a supertype method or have an override-equivalent signature to a public method in Object.
@Override helps ensure that methods are correctly overridden, promoting code clarity and preventing accidental errors.
This annotation inherits methods like annotationType(), equals(), hashCode(), and toString() from the Annotation interface.

Annotation
Indicates that a method declaration is intended to override a
method declaration in a supertype. If a method is annotated with
this annotation type compilers are required to generate an error
message unless at least one of the following conditions hold:
The method does override or implement a method declared in a
supertype.
The method has a signature that is override-equivalent to that of
any public method declared in {@linkplain Object}.
Returns the hash code of this annotation, as defined below:
The hash code of an annotation is the sum of the hash codes
of its members (including those with default values), as defined
below:
The hash code of an annotation member is (127 times the hash code
of the member-name as computed by String.hashCode()) XOR
the hash code of the member-value, as defined below:
The hash code of a member-value depends on its type:
The hash code of a primitive value v is equal to
WrapperType.valueOf(v).hashCode(), where
WrapperType is the wrapper type corresponding
to the primitive type of v (Byte,
Character, Double, Float, Integer,
Long, Short, or Boolean).
