Question

Java: Difference between method overloading and method overriding?

Answer 1

method overloading means the same method name can be used with different argument lists

: for example:

class Tree {

void info() {print("...");}

void info(String s) { print("...");}

}

or void print(int i){...} and void print(String s){...}

but overriding provides new behavior using the same method signatures.

Answer 2

Overloading basically means using the same name or symbol for different, but similar operations.  Like using the + sign for both addition and appending strings.

Overriding means to replace the operation performed by the name or symbol. Example would be I have defined a method called concat that originally just concatenated strings, but later I define a new version of concat that joins two objects instead.
