What is the difference between function overloading and function overriding in C++?

What is the difference between function overloading and function overriding in C++?

Function overloading allows multiple functions with the same name but different parameters, while function overriding redefines a base class method in a derived class.

Can you give me an example of function overloading?

Sure! For instance, you can have two functions named 'add': one that takes two integers and another that takes two doubles.

And what about function overriding? How does that work?

Function overriding occurs when a derived class has a method with the same name and parameters as a method in its base class, allowing for polymorphism.

Are there any rules I should follow for overloading and overriding?

Yes, for overloading, the functions must differ in parameter type or number. For overriding, the method in the derived class must have the same signature as in the base class.
