What is the process called?

Question

The process by which Java is able to determine which method to invoke when methods have been overridden.

I have this sentence and I would like to find out what the process is called

Answer 1

In Java and other object-oriented programming languages, method overriding is a feature that allows a subclass or child class to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its super-classes or parent classes.

Answer 2
