  2. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    Method overriding, in object-oriented programming, is a language feature that allows a subclass or child class to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its superclasses or parent classes.

  3. Method (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)

    Method overloading, on the other hand, refers to differentiating the code used to handle a message based on the parameters of the method. If one views the receiving object as the first parameter in any method then overriding is just a special case of overloading where the selection is based only on the first argument.

  4. Function overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

    In some programming languages, function overloading or method overloading is the ability to create multiple functions of the same name with different implementations. Calls to an overloaded function will run a specific implementation of that function appropriate to the context of the call, allowing one function call to perform different tasks ...

  5. Ad hoc polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_polymorphism

    The previous section notwithstanding, there are other ways in which ad hoc polymorphism can work out. Consider for example the Smalltalk language. In Smalltalk, the overloading is done at run time, as the methods ("function implementation") for each overloaded message ("overloaded function") are resolved when they are about to be executed.

  6. Composition over inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

    class Object {public: virtual void update {// no-op} virtual void draw {// no-op} virtual void collide (Object objects []) {// no-op}}; class Visible: public Object {Model * model; public: virtual void draw override {// code to draw a model at the position of this object}}; class Solid: public Object {public: virtual void collide (Object objects []) override {// code to check for and react to ...

  7. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Python allows operator overloading through the implementation of methods with special names. [48] For example, the addition (+) operator can be overloaded by implementing the method obj.__add__(self, other). Ruby allows operator overloading as syntactic sugar for simple method calls.

  8. Virtual function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_function

    Overloading occurs when two or more methods in one class have the same method name but different parameters. Overriding means having two methods with the same method name and parameters. Overloading is also referred to as function matching, and overriding as dynamic function mapping.

  9. Multiple dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch

    Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments. [1]
