What is method overloading and method overriding

Question

Accepted Answer

Method overloading is having multiple methods in the same class with the same name but different parameters. Method overriding is having a method in a subclass with the same name and parameters as a method in its superclass.

Method overloading allows a class to have multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.
Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by its superclass.
Method overloading is resolved at compile time based on the method signature, while method overriding is resolved at runtime based on the object type.
Example of method overloading: void print(int a) and void print(int a, int b)
Example of method overriding: superclass method - void display() and subclass method - void display()
