Compile time error

We cannot reduce the visibility of the inherited method from super class. If the overridden or hidden method is public, then the overriding or hiding method must be public; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs. If the overridden or hidden method is protected, then the overriding or hiding method must be protected or public; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs. If the overridden or hidden method has default (package) access, then the overriding or hiding method must not be private; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.
