Answer / shakti singh khinchi

Overloading: When more then 1 methods in a class having same
name but they are different in their number of parameters,
different in their parameters types and their order.

Overriding: When a parent class is derived by a child class
and some method which has present in parent class which is
declared as "virtual" in parent class , same method with
same name and parameters and sam type is also declared in
child class without "virtual" keyword, bcz it is by default
virtual in child. SO PARENT AND CHILD CLASS USES SAME METHOD
ARE CALLED OVERRIDING.
