what's the difference between function overloading and function overiding?..

Answer / mms zubeir

Function overloading is providing more than one function
with the same name which will operate on different
type/number of input data. Most probably, the kind of
operation will not be changed.

Function overriding is nothing but giving different
operations with the same function name and with same type
of input data (that is, the signature is not being changed)
depending upon the context (the context here means that the
class that holds the function of a hierarchy of classes)

Answer / niranjan ambati

The above answers are correct but some more things can be
added to the above stuff..
Function overloading is the function which is defined more
than once with a different argument types and no. of
arguments, but all these functions should have the same
return type.

Function overriding is the function which is defined in
base class and derived classes with the different
implementations.
