I am working with Overriding and Overloading and inheritance. The assignment is to modify a class, begin, so it overrides another class, begin, that it is inheriting. I then have to modify a class, increase, so it overloads the inheriting class. If that doesn't confuse the daylights out of you.

Basically what I need help with is an example that shows how to override and overload methods in classes. Any help is appreciated.

class Animal {

   void makeNoise() {
     System.out.printl("noise");
   }
}

class Dog extends Animal {

   void makeNoise() {
     System.out.printl("bark");
   }
}
class Cat extends Animal {

   void makeNoise() {
     System.out.printl("miaou");
   }
}

Well pbl, that's only half of what he wanted to do. He also wanted to overload as well.

So I think it'd be more like...

public class Parent {
    public void talk() {
        System.out.println("I'm a parent!");
    }

    public void talk(String s) {
        System.out.println(s);
    }
}

public class Child {
    public void talk() {
        System.out.println("I'm a child!");
    }
}

Of course not exactly, but it has the overloading too.

Hope it helped!

Let's combined them

class Animal {

   void makeNoise() {
     makeNoise("noise");
   }

   void makeNoise(String str) {
      System.out.println(str);
   }
}

class Dog extends Animal {

   void makeNoise() {
     makeNoise("bark");
   }
}
class Cat extends Animal {

   void makeNoise() {
     makeNoise("miaou");
   }
}

Thanks to the both of you. This helps shine light on the matter for me.
