Overriding vs Overloading in Java
Overriding | Overloading |
---|---|
Implements “runtime polymorphism” | Implements “compile time polymorphism” |
The method call is determined at runtime based on the object type | The method call is determined at compile time |
Occurs between superclass and subclass | Occurs between the methods in the same class |
Have the same signature (name and method arguments) | Have the same name, but the parameters are different |
On error, the effect will be visible at runtime | On error, it can be caught at compile time |
