== Why is this an issue?
While not mandatory, using the https://api.dart.dev/dart-core/override-constant.html[`@override`] annotation on compliant members (methods, properties, operators) improves readability by making it explicit that members are overridden.
Unlike other languages, all methods in Dart are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_function[`virtual`] by default. So, using the `@override` annotation prevents accidental overriding of a base class method in a subclass.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,dart,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
class ParentClass {
bool doSomething(){/*...*/}
}
class FirstChildClass extends ParentClass {
bool doSomething(){/*...*/} // Noncompliant
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,dart,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
class ParentClass {
bool doSomething(){/*...*/}
}
class FirstChildClass extends ParentClass {
@override
bool doSomething(){/*...*/} // Compliant
}
