Here are some of the most common differences between both of them. If you are working in Java for more than 1 year, you might be familiar with all of them but any way its good revision:
1) First and major difference between Overloading and Overriding is that former occur during compile time while later occur during runtime.
2) Second difference between Overloading and Overriding is that, you can overload method in same class but you can only override method in sub class.
3) Third difference is that you can overload static method in Java but you can not override static method in Java. In fact when you declare same method in Sub Class it's known as method hiding because it hide super class method instead of overriding it.
4) Overloaded methods are bonded using static binding and Type of reference variable is used, while Overridden method are bonded using dynamic bonding based upon actual Object.
5) Rules of Overloading and Overriding is different in Java. In order to overload a method you need to change its method signature but that is not required for overriding any method in Java.
Overloading happens when you have multiple methods in the current class that have the same name but different signature. The scope of method overloading is "Within the current class" Overriding happens when your current class extends another class (the parent class) and provides implementation for a method that is already available in the parent class. The scope of method overriding too is "Within the current class"
method overriding :method overriding means redefine methods in sub classes they already defined in the Super classes.method overloading : It means methods with the same name but with a different signature exist in one class
Yes. Any base class method that is declared virtual can be overridden by a derived class. Overriding a method that is not declared virtual can still be called, but will not be called polymorphically. That is, if you call the base class method, the base class method will execute, not the override. To call a non-virtual override you must call it explicitly.
Overloading the same method name with different number of arguments (and the data types), and perhaps with a different returned data type. The method signatures are different, only the names are the same. Overriding is to change the same method name with different implementation (the method body). The method signature stays the same.
There are no methods or events in C.
overloading” is having the functions (methods) with the same name but different signatures. Overloading acts on different data types in different ways.“overriding” is having a methods with same name and same signature in a parent class and the child class. Overriding acts on different object types in different ways. ...... ambuj24@gmail.com
Method overloading is when you have multiple methods in a class that have the same name but a different signature. Method overriding is similar to method overloading, with a small difference. In overriding, a method in a parent class is overridden in the child class. The method in the child class will have the same signature as that of the parent class. Since the method in the child class has the same signature & name as the method of its parent class, it is termed as overriding. In situations where you may have to explicitly call the parent class method you can use the "super" keyword and for explicitly calling the current objects method you can use the "this" keyword.

Overriding methods that are in the parent class is to redefine them in the current (child) class in a different way. Like if you're extending a class but you don't like the behavior of one method in that class, you can override that method and write your own code. Overloading a method in the current class is defining another copy of the method with different signature. They call them overloaded methods. This is an example of overloaded methods: myMethod(int i, int b){ .... } myMethod(String s) { ... } myMethod(boolean b) {...} Hope that was clear

== ==
Method overloading is when two or more methods have the same name, but the computer can differentiate between the methods by looking at the parameters. Example: public static void go(int x) public static void go(double x) If you pass an int, the first method would be called. If you pass a double, the second method would be called
No difference
short answer: no longer answer: 10 seconds on google would get you to http://java.sun.com/docs/white/langenv/Simple.doc2.html There are no means provided by which programmers can overload the standard arithmetic operators. Once again, the effects of operator overloading can be just as easily achieved by declaring a class, appropriate instance variables, and appropriate methods to manipulate those variables. Eliminating operator overloading leads to great simplification of code.
