overloading VS overriding

Overloading: Method overloading in Java occurs when two or more methods in the same class have the exact same name but different parameters.

The conditions for method overloading: The number of parameters is different for the methods. The parameter types are different.

Overloading happens at compile time.

Overriding: If a derived class requires a different definition for an inherited method, then that method can be redefined in the derived class. This would be considered overriding.

An overridden method would have the exact same method name, return type, number of parameters, and types of parameters as the method in the parent class, and the only difference would be the definition of the method.

Overriding happens at run time.
