private final method

[truyen vu]

can a private final method be overridden?

[Vidya Ram]

As a private method is not visible to the subclass (in other words, it's not inherited), it can never be overriden.
So if you redefine any method which is private in the subclass, its just the name reuse and nothing else.
A final method can never be overriden.
Hope its clear.
