Method overloading is providing
two separate methods in a class
with the same name but different arguments,
while the method return type
may or may not be different, which
allows us to reuse the same method name.
In my framework==
I use implicit wait in Selenium. Implicit wait
is an example of overloading. In Implicit wait
we use different time stamps such as SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS etc.,
A class having multiple methods with
same name but different parameters
is called Method Overloading
public class Multi{ //Super class
public void multi(){
………………
}
}
Public class Multiplication extends Multi(){
Public void multi(){
………..
}
Public static void main(String args[]){
Multi multiplication = new Multiplication(); //Polimorphism is applied
multiplication.multi(); // It calls the Sub class add() method
}
}
Method Overloading:
Access modifier can be same or different,
Return-Type can be same or different,
Parameters MUST be different, Method name MUST be same,
any method can be overloaded
Method Overriding:
After a method is inherited it is possible to change
the implantation of the method in the child class.
This concept is called overriding.
Method name, Parameter, and Return-Type MUST be same
access modifier MUST be same or more visible,
MUST happen in the sub class,
ONLY the instance methods can be overridden
@Override annotation MUST be applicable.
Static and Constructor cannot be override.
We can use the @Override annotation before the method
to declare the overriding.
EXAMPLE: get method WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("URL") ==> opens the url from chrome
public class Multi{ //Super class
public void multi(String name){ //String parameter
………………
}
}
Public class Multiplication extends Multi(){
Public void multi(){//No Parameter
………..
}
Public void multi(int x){ //integer parameter
}
Public static void main(String args[]){
Multiplication multiplication = new Multiplication();
multiplication.multi();
}
}
// Java program to demonstrate working of method
// overloading in Java
public class Sum {
// Overloaded sum(). This sum takes two int parameters
public int sum(int x, int y) { return (x + y); }
// Overloaded sum(). This sum takes three int parameters
public int sum(int x, int y, int z)
{
return (x + y + z);
}
// Overloaded sum(). This sum takes two double
// parameters
public double sum(double x, double y)
{
return (x + y);
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
Sum s = new Sum();
System.out.println(s.sum(10, 20));
System.out.println(s.sum(10, 20, 30));
System.out.println(s.sum(10.5, 20.5));
}
}
Overriding means same method name and same parameter,
occur in different class that has
inheritance relationship.
we use method overriding to implement
specific functionality to the method.
