# What are the rules (method access permission and exception) that needs to be followed, during method overloading and overriding ?

During **method Overloading**, method name should remain same. But method signature can vary. Components of signature that can vary are:1.Number of arguments2.Datatype of arguments3.Order of arguments\
During **method Overriding**, make sure that the method is not throwing checked exceptions that are new or higher than those declared by the overridden method.But we can't override Static and Final methods.
