In Java, method overloading and method overriding are two important concepts related to polymorphism in object-oriented programming.
Method Overloading:
Method overloading allows a class to have multiple methods with the same name but different parameters (different number, type, or order of parameters). The compiler determines which method to call based on the method signature.
Method Overriding:
Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation for a method that is already defined in its superclass. The method in the subclass has the same name, return type, and parameters as the method in the superclass.
