Interface Cdac Patna Noted

Overloading involves methods with the same name but different arguments, while overriding involves redefining a parent class method in a child class with the same signature. The key differences are: Overloading allows different argument types and numbers, while overriding requires the same argument signature. Overriding also requires inheritance and allows return types to differ, while overloading does not require inheritance. Overriding uses dynamic polymorphism at runtime, while overloading uses static polymorphism at compile time. Private, static and final methods cannot be overridden. Interfaces define 100% abstract methods and classes can implement multiple interfaces simultaneously while extending only one class. Interface variables are public, static and final by default while abstract class variables do not have the same restrictions.

Overloading & Overriding

CDAC PATNA
 Overloading –
Two methods are said to be overloaded if and only if , both methods
having same name but different argument(either change type of argument
/ no. of argument/ order of argument)

 Overriding - CDAC PATNA


When we redefine the method of parent class in child class with same
signature(i.e method name and argument) then it is said to be overriding.
• Parent class method which is overridden is called Overridden method
• Child class method which is overriding is called overriding method
Property Overloading Overriding
Method name Must be same Must be same

Argument type Must be different Must be same(including


order )
Method signature Must be different Must be same

Return type
CDAC PATNA No restriction Can be different

Also known as Static Dynamic polymorphism/


polymorphism/compile run time polymorphism
time polymorphism
Inheritance May or may not be Must be required
required
private, static, final Can be overload Can not be overridden
method
CDAC PATNA
Interfaces
 Inside interface every method is always abstract whether we are
declaring or not. Hence, interface is considered as 100% pure abstract
class
 Syntax of declaring interface:-

CDAC PATNA
interface interface_name
{
data member;
methods();
}
Where we can use extends or implements keyword ?

• A class can extend only one class at a time


• An interface can extend any no. of interface simultaneously
CDAC PATNA
• A class can implement any no. of interface at a time
• A class can extend one class and can implement any no. of interfaces
simultaneously.
Interface variable :-
Ex- interface I1
{
int x=10;
}
CDAC PATNA
public- to make this variable available to every implementation class
static- without creating object, implementation class has to access this
variable
final- If one implementation class changes value then remaining
implementation class will be affected .So, that interface variable is always
final
 Difference between interface and abstract class:-
Interface Abstract class

If we don’t know any thing about If we know implementation but not


implementation then we should go for completely(partial implementation) then
interface we should go for abstract class .

CDAC PATNA
Inside interface every method is always
public& abstract , whether we are
declaring or not . Hence, it is 100%
Every method present inside abstract
class need not be public & abstract.

abstract class
Every variable present inside interface is Every variable present inside abstract
always public statis final class need not to be public statis final

For interface variable compulsory we For abstract class variables we are not
should perform initialization at the time required to perform initialization at the
of declaration (otherwise we get error). time of declaration
