Method Overriding

Method Overriding is the feature of compile time Polymorphism.In Which More than One  Method name is same but have different parameter/Signature in the same Class. At Compile time the compiler check which one is going to be call. 

   staticvoid str(int x)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("interger");
        }
 
        staticvoid str(string y)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("string");
        }
       
        publicstaticvoid Main()
        {
            str("Mindstick");
        }

Out put :

Stirng

In this example I have maded two function with same name but given different parameter in first method it is of integer type and in another method I have given string type.When we compile this program it check first from the parameter given in the main function and it is of string type so it will call string type of method.

Method Overloading

Method Overloading is the feature of runtime polymorphism .In which more than one one method name is similar with same signature .But in different Classes.Method Overriding use two keywords that is Virtual and Override.Virtual in Base Class/Parent Class and Override in Inheritence Class/Child Class.It is Possible in Derived class only by the help of virtual or abstract keyword.

Let us take a example to understand Method Overriding

using System;
 
 namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    classProgram
    {
        classParent
        {
            publicvirtualint balance()
            {
                return 10;
            }
            public Parent()
            {
              Console.WriteLine("Im in Parent Constructor");
            }
        }
 
        classChild : Parent
        {
            publicoverrideint balance()
            {
                return 20;
            }
 
 
            staticvoid Main(string[] args)
            {
                Child obj = newChild();                
                var val = obj.balance();
                Console.WriteLine(val);
                Console.Read();
 
 
 
            }
        }
 
 
        
       
    }
}

Output

In the above example child class is inheriting parent class it have two method with same name and have same argument and from main class I have maken the object of class and called balace .
