Method overloading: When 2 or more methods in a class have the same method names with different arguments, it is said to be method overloading. Overloaded methods must have different method signatures
Method overriding : When a method in a class has the same method name with same arguments as that of the superclass,
it is said to be method overriding. Overridden methods must have same signature.

dynamic/late binding polymorphism: overriding
