Differentiate between function overloading and fun

Question

Differentiate between function overloading and function overriding in C++?

Answer 1

Function overloading is same name function but different arguments. Function over riding means same name function and same as arguments

Answer 2

Function overloading - functions with same name, but different number of arguments

Function overriding - concept of inheritance. Functions with same name and same number of arguments. Here the second function is said to have overridden the first

Answer 3

1.Function Overloading is when multiple function with same name exist in a class. Function Overriding is when function have same prototype in base class as well as derived class.

2.Function Overloading can occur without inheritance. Function Overriding occurs when one class is inherited from another class.

3.Overloaded functions must differ in either number of parameters or type of parameters should be different. In Overridden function parameters must be same.

Answer 4

Function overloading is done when you want to have the same function with different parameters

void Print(string s);//Print string
void Print(int i);//Print integer

Function overriding is done to give a different meaning to the function in the base class

class Stream//A stream of bytes
{
public virtual void Read();//read bytes
}

class FileStream:Stream//derived class
{
public override void Read();//read bytes from a file
}
class NetworkStream:Stream//derived class
{
public override void Read();//read bytes from a network
}

Answer 5

Overloading means having methods with same name but different signature Overriding means rewriting the virtual method of the base class.............

Answer 6

In addition to the existing answers, Overridden functions are in different scopes; whereas overloaded functions are in same scope.
