class a {

}

class b : a {
public override string toString() {

}

The error I keep getting no matter what says: Error: Multiple 
Overrides of Same Function. Anybody know what I should do?

Okay. Realized this wasn't actually affecting my program, but is 
there any explanation for why this doesn't work?

It works for me.

The "shorten" link on run.dlang.io no longer works, but here is a 
working example:

```
import std;

class A {
     public override string toString() {
         return "a";
     }
}

class B : A {
     public override string toString() {
	    return "b";
     }
}

void main()
{
     A a = new A();
     B b = new B();
     writeln(a);
     writeln(b);
}
```

I think he is referring to this:

import std;

class B{
     public override string toString(){
         return null;
     }

     public override string toString(){
         return toString(null);
     }
}

void main() {
     B b = new P();
}

Error: function `B.toString` multiple overrides of same function
