Method overloading:
-------------------
Method overloading means having two or
more methods with the same name but different signatures in
the same scope. These two methods may exist in the same
class or anoter one in base class and another in derived
class.
Like if we have a method: void sum(int a,int b){---} then
it can be overloaded as:
void sum(int a,int b,int c);
void sum(string s1,string s2);
Method overriding:
------------------
Method overriding means having a
different implementation of the same method in the
inherited class. These two methods would have the same
signature, but different implementation. One of these would
exist in the base class and another in the derived class.
These cannot exist in the same class.
Like if we have a method: int fun(int a,int b){---} then it
can be overrided as:
int fun(int a,int b)
{
return (a+b);
}
int fun(int a,int b)
{
return (a*b);
}
int fun(int a,int b)
{
return (a/b);
}
