•If a class and its superclass have methods with same signatures, the class's method takes priority over the superclass's.
My teacher wrote this and he said it was because of convenience... but I'm not sure why it would prioritize the class over superclass? What if the class method had specific parameters that superclass didn't have? wouldn't the program want to run something with the superclass then?

then that wouldn't be the same signature

Exactly, what makes a method unique is it's signature and name of course

the name is part of the signature
