Answer / samba
Overloading: We can use same method name and different
arguments, number of arguments and type of arguments, and it
is also called as Compiletime Polymorphism, EarlyBinding and
StaticBinding.
Ex: int add(int a,int b);
int add(int a, float b);
float add(int a, float b, float c);
Overriding: We can use same method name and same arguments
to perfrom our own functionality, and it is also called as
Runtime Polymorphism,LateBinding and Dynamic Binding.
Ex: int add(int,int);
int add(int,int);

Answer / vetrivel
Overloading vs. overriding
1.Overriding of functions occurs when one class is inherited from another class. Overloading can occur without inheritance.
2.Overloaded functions must differ in function signature ie either number of parameters or type of parameters should differ. In overriding, function signatures must be same.
3.Overridden functions are in different scopes; whereas overloaded functions are in same scope.
4.Overriding is needed when derived class function has to do some added or different job than the base class function.
5.Overloading is used to have same name functions which behave differently depending upon parameters passed to them.

Answer / bharathi
overloading is a process of using the same name function in
different places in the same class it can make useful of
reusability and to save the memory to need not write entire
program where we want.here one thing is wirh or without
inheritance we can use overloading.
whereas overriding means having same name and same acess
specifiers,same returntype,same modifiers as same in the
base class.

Answer / stephen-pipes afrifa
Overloading: The function name is the same but the
parameters are different or have different signature
Overriding: The member function having the same name and
types of parameters as function in the base class.

Answer / kakani sirisha
Overloading is code refinement technique and OverRiding is code replacement technique..
In OverLoading no seperate keywords are used to implement but in OverRiding we use virtual keyword for base class and overriding keyword for derived class function to implement...
