We can define a subclass that is inherited from a superclass in the Swift language, That means you can override its properties and methods using the override keyword. However, you cannot override the properties with a different type in the subclass. By default, the subclass must override the properties of the same type as the superclass type. For example, let's say you have a Person class with name and age properties of type String and Double − class Person { let name: String let age: Double ... Read More
