Difference Between Overloading and Overriding Difference Between Static & Dynamic Polymorphism

Method overloading involves defining multiple methods with the same name but different parameters within the same class. Method overriding involves redefining a method in a subclass that is already present in the superclass, where the method signature remains the same. Static polymorphism relates to method overloading and is resolved at compile time based on the parameters. Dynamic polymorphism relates to method overriding and determines which method to invoke based on the object type at runtime.
