What is the difference between function hiding and function overriding?

Answer 1

Parent class
Public Class A{
Public void print() {
System. Out. Println("parent class")
}
}
Child class
Public class B extends A{
Public void print() {
System. Out.println("child class")
}
}
This is function overriding
The same function in the parent class (same name and( number&kind) of parameters) in child class but different implementation 🙄
I hope u understand 😅

Answer 2

If both method in parent class and child class are an instance method, it called overrides.[1]

If both method in parent class and child class are static method, it called hiding.[1]

Answer 3

In function overriding, the child class implements a function of the parent class differently. In function hiding, one class is unable to directly call the hidden/private function of another class and so has to rely on an indirect public function of the latter if it needs to access this hidden function(ality).

Sonic and tom thanks for giving me this clarity, but could u pls provide me some programs example so that i can understand it better.

Answer 5

Thanks esraa

Answer 6

1

Public calss baseClass{
Public static void primess(){
System. Out. Println("Base Class") ;
}
}
2
Public calss subClass extends baseClass{
Public static void primess(){
System. Out. Println("sub Class") ;
}
}
In the main method:

SubClass.primess();

The output
Base Class
.
.
Hiding method is when u create the static method in parent and child class.
U know that the static (methods or values) are called by Class not object.
When there's same methods in parent&child its called method hiding not overriding, u can't override statistic methods.
