Can you explain the difference between overloading and overriding in Java?

  • Overloading: It occurs when two or more methods in the same class have the same name but different parameters (number, type, or order). Overloading is determined at compile-time based on the method's signature.
  • Overriding: It occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation for a method that is already defined in its superclass. The method in the subclass must have the same method signature as the superclass. Overriding is determined at runtime based on the actual object's type.
