0 JAVA- A Comparison between Static Polymorphism and Dynamic Polymorphism

Static Polymorphism And Dynamic Polymorphism in JAVA

Static Polymorphism in JAVA is also known as Function Overloading in JAVA. Dynamic Polymorphism in JAVA is also known as Function Overriding in JAVA. Let us compare Function Overloading and Function Overriding in JAVA. Here it goes,the difference between Function Overloading and Function Overriding in JAVA

Static Polymorphism	Dynamic Polymorphism
Function Overloading – within same class more than one method having same name but differing in signature	Function Overriding – keeping the signature and return type same, method in the base class is redefined in the derived class
Resolved during compilation time	Resolved during run time
Return type is not part of method signature	Which method to be invoked is decided by the object that the reference points to and not by the type of the reference
