Java Presentation

The document explains method overloading and method overriding in object-oriented programming. Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameters within the same class, while method overriding enables a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass. Examples are provided for both concepts, illustrating their usage in Java programming.

METHOD

OVERLOADING AND
METHOD OVERRIDING
METHOD OVERLOADING
METHOD OVERLOADING

Method Overloading is a feature in object-oriented programming (OOP) languages


(like Java, C++, C#) that allows:
•Multiple methods to have the same name but different parameters within the
same class.
•The methods must differ in:
• Number of parameters
• Data types of parameters
• Order of parameters
EXAMPLE OF METHOD OVERLOADING

public class MethodOverloading {


// Method to add two integers
public int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
// Method to add two float numbers
public float add(float a, float b) {
return a + b;
}
// Method to add integers with default values if no arguments are passed
public int add() {
return 10 + 20; // Default values
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MethodOverloading obj = new MethodOverloading();
// Calling method with integers
System.out.println("Sum of 5 and 10 (integers): " + obj.add(5, 10));
// Calling method with floats
System.out.println("Sum of 3.5 and 7.5 (floats): " + obj.add(3.5f, 7.5f));
// Calling method without arguments (using default values)
System.out.println("Sum with default values: " + obj.add());
}
}
METHOD OVERRIDING
METHOD OVERRIDING

Method Overriding is an object-oriented programming (OOP) concept where:


•A subclass (child class) provides a specific implementation of a method that
is already defined in its superclass (parent class).
•The overridden method in the subclass must have:
• The same name,
• The same return type, and
• The same parameters as the method in the parent class.
EXAMPLE OF METHOD OVERRIDING
//SuperClass

class Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Animal makes a sound.");

// Subclass

class Dog extends Animal {

// Overrides the makeSound method of the superclass

@Override

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Dog barks.");

}
EXAMPLE OF METHOD OVERRIDING

// Main class to test method overriding

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Creating instances of Dog and Cat

Animal dog = new Dog();

Animal cat = new Cat();

// Calling the overridden method

dog.makeSound(); // Output: Dog barks.

cat.makeSound(); // Output: Cat meows.
