Method overloading occurs within the same class when multiple methods share the same name but have different parameter lists. Method overriding happens in subclasses, where a method in the subclass has the same signature (name and parameter list) as a method in its superclass.

java

class Parent {

    void display() {

        System.out.println(“Parent’s display”);

    }

}

class Child extends Parent {

    void display() {

        System.out.println(“Child’s display”);

    }

}

// Method overriding

Parent obj = new Child();

obj.display(); // Output: “Child’s display”

// Method overloading

class Example {

    void show(int a) {

        System.out.println(“show with int parameter”);

    }

    void show(double a) {

        System.out.println(“show with double parameter”);

    }

}
