A good answer might be:

Yes.

Overriding abstract Methods

An abstract class will usually contain abstract methods. An abstract method definition consists of:

No curly braces or method body follow the signature. Here is the abstract class Parent including the abstract compute() method:

abstract class Parent
{
  public abstract int compute( int x, String j);
}

If a class has one or more abstract methods it must be declared to be abstract. An abstract class may have methods that are not abstract (the usual sort of method). These methods are inherited by children classes in the usual way. A non-abstract child class of an abstract parent class must override each of the abstract methods of its parent.

These rules are not really as terrible as they seem. After working with inheritance for a while the rules will seem clear. Here is a child of Parent:

class Child extends Parent
{
    public int compute( int x, String j )
    { . . . }
}

The child's compute() method correctly overrides the parent's abstract method.

QUESTION 3:

Does the following correctly override the parent's abstract method?

class Child extends Parent
{
    public double compute( int x, String j )
    { . . . }
}
