    Question overloading and overriding

    What is the difference between function overloading and function overriding?

    when you overload a function you create the same function with a different sig..

    ex..

    void doThis(int a);
    void doThis();
    void doThis(char z);


    overriding is when you have functA() in class X...
    then you create a class Y that is a subclass of X... and in Y you redefine functA() (the sig stays the same)... and unless you explicitly call the functA() from class X, the functA() from Y will be used... so the funct was overridden..

    got it..
