   A method in a subclass that has the same method signature as a method in the superclass is an example of method overloading.

   Answer: False, this is an example of method overriding.

5. Find and correct the error in the following program.

   class Vehicle {
   	public double price;
   
   	public Vehicle(double price) {
   		this.price = price;
   	}
   }
   
   class Car extends Vehicle {
   
   	public Car(double price) {
   		super.price = price;
   	}
   }

   Correction:

   class Vehicle {
   	public double price;
   
   	public Vehicle(double price) {
   		this.price = price;
   	}
   }
   
   class Car extends Vehicle {
   
   	public Car(double price) {
   		super(price);
   	}
   }

   Or:

   class Vehicle {
   	public double price;
   
   	public Vehicle(double price) {
   		this.price = price;
   	}
   	
   	public Vehicle() { }
   }
   
   class Car extends Vehicle {
   
   	public Car(double price) {
   		super.price = price;
   	}
   }
