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.
