Module 7
METHOD OVERLOADING AND
OVERRIDING
At the end of the module, you should be able to:
● Recall the concept of Polymorphism
● discuss the two types of Polymorphism
● discuss the concept of Method Overloading
● demonstrate application programs on Method
Overloading
● discuss the concept of Method Overriding
Polymorphism
The word “POLYMORPHISM” comes from two Greek words
POLY and MORPHISM” which means many forms. It is
important feature in Python that allows us to define
methods in the child class with the same name as defined in
their parent class.
There are two types of Polymorphism:
(1) Overloading
(2) Overriding

Method Overloading

- Occurs when two or more methods in


one class have the same method name
but different parameters.
- allows you to create multiple methods

Method Overriding

- Means having two methods with the same


method name and parameters (i.e., METHOD
