difference between method overloading and overriding

Question

Accepted Answer

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

Method overloading is resolved at compile time based on the method signature.
Method overriding is resolved at runtime based on the object type.
Method overloading is used to provide different implementations of the same method, while method overriding is used to provide a specific implementation of a method in a subclass.
Example of method overloading: void print(int a) and void print(int a, int b)
Example of method overriding: superclass method void display() overridden in subclass with void display()
