abstract class FunctionInt{
int num1;
int num2;

abstract FunctionInt test(FunctionInt newNum);

}

class Function extends FunctionInt{
public Function(int num1,int num2){
this.num1=num1;
this.num2=num2;
}
public Function (){

}

Function test(Function c){
return c;
}

Answer

You cannot change the abstract method signature. You have created an entirely new method unrelated to the method you wanted to override. Use the @Override annotation to spot this class of errors more quickly.

public class Function extends FunctionInt {
    public Function(int num1, int num2) {
        this.num1 = num1;
        this.num2 = num2;
    }

    public Function() {

    }

    @Override
    FunctionInt test(FunctionInt c) {
        return c;
    }
}
