difference between overloading and overridding..

Answer / $rav$...

OVERLOADING:-Principle of overloading is achieved through
polymorphism .we can have any number of methods with the
same name but the difference in the signature(:parameters ).
OVERRIDING:-Principle of overriding is achieved through
inheritance.we can have any number of methods with same
name,parameters and signature but the rewriting of the code
of the super class method in the subclass is done and we
give the new functionality to that method of keeping its
signature as the same.
dynamic binding prevails in overriding.inheritance is
compulsory.
static binding prevails in overloading.
