| The method name will be same and parameter will be a difference | The method name will be same and parameter will be a difference |
| We can be overloading the methods in the same class | We can be overloading the methods in the different class |
| overloading is a compile-time concept | Overriding is a run-time concept |
| Polymorphism will be applied to overloading at compile-time | Polymorphism applied to overriding at run-time |
