Difference between method overloading and overriding in Java

Hello everyone,

I am learning Java OOP concepts.
Can someone explain the difference
between method overloading and method overriding with a simple example?

Thank you.

Overloading (methods have the same name but different arguments):public class A { public void method(int arg) { } public void method(String arg) { } }

Overriding (the same name and arguments in a child class):public class A { public void method(int arg) { } } public class B extends A { public void method(int arg) { } }

Remember, you can only override instance methods. Always use this annotation if you are overriding methods; if you make the tiniest mistake, e.g. spelling something wrongly, you will get a compile‑time error./* Not an overridden method: compilation will fail */ public class A {    public void method(int arg)    {    }        @Override    public void method(String arg)    {    } }/* Incorrectly overridden method: compilation will fail */ public class B {    @Override    public String tostring()    {        return ....;    } }
