Answer / ankur dhoot

In overloading two function should have different signature
but overriding show have exactly same signature.

Overloading generally happens in same class but overriding
mandatory requires super and sub class to happen.

Compiler decides overloading at compile time but overriding
is detected at run time.

Overloading is called static polymorphism while overriding
is called dynamic polymorphism.

What is the difference between overloading and overriding a function?..

Answer / raj kashyap

OVERLOADING is possible to create methods that have the same
name, but different parameters lists and different
definitions.overloading is used when objects are required to
perform similar task but using different parameters.



OVERRIDING is used when we want an object to respond to the
same method but have different behaviour when that method is
called. that means we override the method defined in super
class.yhis is possible by defining a method in subclass that
has same name,same argument& same return typeas method in
super class.
