====== Overriding vs. Overwriting ======


While often used interchangeably in casual conversation, they represent different technical concepts: 

  ***Overriding:** \\  Providing a new version of a method in a subclass while the original still exists in the parent class.
  ***Overwriting:** \\ Completely replacing data or code in the same storage location, making the original version inaccessible and lost.
