An "overloaded" method has multiple definitions taking different arguments.

The constructor of the standard String class is a good example. Check out the API doco [url=http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html]here[/url].

"Overriding" a method means redefining it in a "child" class.... one which extends the original base class. [url=http://mindprod.com/jgloss/override.html]This[/url] looks like a good run down on overriding. And check out Sun's Java tut's [url=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/inheritance.html]here[/url].

Cheers. Keith.

Overloading a method is when you have more than one method with the same name but different parameters. So:public void doSomething(int value);public void doSometihng(String value);Overriding is where you inherit from a class and redefine one of its methods.
