Answer / manu chaudhary
overloading- having different functions with same function_names but must have different signatures(parameters).
overriding- if a base class have a member function and its derived class also have a member function with same name and signature then when that same name function is called in the main function with the object of derived class then the function in the derived class is called that means the function with sam ename in the base class overrides, and this is known as function overriding.
If you have to call the function of the base class then you can call it within the scope of derived class function by using ::(scope resolution) operator.

Answer / ravi kolate(ty)
overloadind is the method in which have same function name
and return type but it has different number of passing
argument.
float a(float a,int a)
{
float a(float num)
{
//code
}
}
while in overriding method their are same function name
same return type and same parameter passing passing to
parent class to child class.
in java their is tedius problems in method overriding ,to
solve problem java introduce a interface.

Answer / kailash joshi
overloading : class a { volume(int a,int b)
}
class b { public volume(int a,int b,int c)
}
"different signatures"
overriding : class a { public volume(int a,int b)
}
class b { public volume(int a,int b,int c)
}
"same signatures";

Answer / kunal
Overloading - Two or more functions having same name but
different siganture(i.e arguements or return types) for eg.
we have a function named as area then
area();,float area();,area(float a,float b);,float area
(float a,float b);
Overriding - When a function of base class is re-defined in
the derived class.for eg.
base class
{
area(float a,float b);
}
derive class
{
float area();
}
