What is method overloading and method overriding?

Question

Accepted Answer

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

Method overloading is used to provide different ways to call the same method with different parameters.
Method overriding is used to provide a specific implementation of a method in a subclass that is already defined in the superclass.
Method overloading is resolved at compile-time while method overriding is resolved at runtime.
Example of method overloading: public void print(int num), public void print(String str)
Example of method overriding: superclass method - public void display(), subclass method - public void display()

Accepted Answer

Developing the multiple sub classes with the same name as in the super class but there should be different implementations in the sub class is called as Method Overriding.
