@Override Java Parent Class

Question

This is my code in parent class

public boolean ChoiceOfItem(){
    if (bread)
        this.Choice("bread");
    if (meat)
        this.Choice("meat");
    if (lettuce)
        this.Choice("lettuce");
    if (tomato)
        this.Choice("tomato");
    if (carrot)
        this.Choice("carrot");
    return false;
}

and this one is from extended(Not parent) class:

@Override
public boolean ChoiceOfItem() {
    if (ryeBread)
        this.Choice("ryeBread");
    return false;
}

My question is what is wrong and what is right here? Looking forward to your messages. I'll be able to send the whole code if it is necessary.

Answer 1

ChoiceOfItem probably needs to return true when handled some item, hence return false only in that case.

public boolean choiceOfItem(){
    if (bread)
        this.Choice("bread");
    else if (meat)
        this.Choice("meat");
    else if (lettuce)
        this.Choice("lettuce");
    else if (tomato)
        this.Choice("tomato");
    else if (carrot)
        this.Choice("carrot");
    else return false;
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean choiceOfItem() {
    if (super.choiceOfItem())
        return true;
    if (ryeBread) {
        this.Choice("ryeBread");
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
