Distinguish between method overloading and method overriding.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Overloading means defining several methods with the same name but different parameter lists in the same class, and the choice is made at compile time. Overriding means redefining in a subclass a method already defined in its superclass, with the same signature, and the choice is made at run time according to the actual type of the object.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Overloading is compile-time polymorphism and overriding is run-time polymorphism.
