Selenium WebDriver with Java - Basics to Advanced and Frameworks - How Different is Function Overriding from Overloading

The video tutorial explains the concept of inheritance in Java, focusing on how a child class can inherit methods from a parent class. It demonstrates enhancing an audio system by overriding the method in the child class, thus replacing the parent class's method. The tutorial further distinguishes between function overriding and overloading, emphasizing that overriding involves methods with the same name and parameters, while overloading requires different parameters. This foundational knowledge is crucial for understanding Java's object-oriented programming concepts.

What is the primary purpose of inheritance in Java?

• To define a class without any methods

• To create multiple instances of a class

• To allow a class to use methods from another class

• To restrict access to certain methods

When a method in a child class has the same name and parameters as a method in the parent class, what is this concept called?

• Function Overriding

• Method Cloning

• Method Hiding

• Function Overloading

What happens when a method in a child class overrides a method in the parent class?

• The parent method is executed

• Neither method is executed

• Both methods are executed

• The child method is executed

Which of the following is a key difference between function overloading and function overriding?

• Overloading requires different method names

• Overriding requires different return types

• Overloading requires different parameters

• Overriding requires different access modifiers

Why is understanding the difference between overloading and overriding important in Java interviews?

• It is necessary for using interfaces

• It is a common question in interviews

• It helps in writing faster code

• It is used to create abstract classes
