method overriding and method overloading code example

Example 1: what is method overloading and method overriding in Java?

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.

Method overriding means defining a method in a child class that is already defined in the parent class with the same method signature, same name, arguments, and return type

Example 2: What's method overloading

Overloading mean same method name and different parameter, 
it can happen in same class. it's a feature that 
allows us to have more than one method with same name.

Example: sort method of Arrays class
Arrays.sort(int[] arr)
Arrays.sort(String[] arr)
....
Method overloading improves the reusability and readability. 
and it's easy to remember 
(one method name instead of remembering multiple method names)

Example 3: method overloading

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.

Example 4: method overloading

// 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)); 
    } 
}

Example 5: method overriding

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. 

Examples are get and navigate methods
of different drivers in Selenium .

Example: get method
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("URL") ==> opens the url from chrome

WebDriver driver = new FireFoxDriver();
driver.get("URL") ==> opens the url from Firefox

we can only override instance methods and method override 
takes place in sub class.
instance method that we are going to override cannot be private and final
Example: get method
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("URL") ==> opens the url from chrome

WebDriver driver = new FireFoxDriver();
driver.get("URL") ==> opens the url from Firefox

we can only override instance methods and method override 
takes place in sub class.
