difference betweeen overloading and overriding

[yashwant pinge]

#include<iostre am>
using namespace std;

class base
{
public:
void display()
{
}
};

class derived : public base
{
public:
void display(int i )
{
}
};

int main()
{
derived d;
d.display(1);
}
can anyone tell me that display funcion in derived class is a
overriding function or overloading function

Neither.

Overloading concerns names in the same scope. Derived class'
scope is different than the base class' scope.

Overriding concerns virtual functions. There are no virtual
functions in your example.

But the derived class is inherited from the base class .
As per the concepts of inheritance all the functions in base class is
inherited in the derived class so the derived class cotains the two
functions display with no parameters and with int parameter

so is it overloading functions in derived class...?

The proper term is either "is derived from" or "inherits from" or
"derives from".

As per the concepts of inheritance all the functions in base class is
inherited in the derived class so the derived class cotains the two
functions display with no parameters and with int parameter

I am not sure what you mean by "contains".

so is it overloading functions in derived class...?

No, it is not (see my explanantion above). The 'base::display' member
is _hidden_ in 'derived'. Without special actions, the 'display' with
no arguments is not callable with/from 'derived'.

As I understand it, class derived has two functions "display" because
they have a diffent signature. Overriding a function implies that the
method has the same signature but different implementation.

Understand what?

Oh yeah I was very wrong, I tried to code some examples and the
compiler always said that display() from "base" is not accessible from
"derived" but I don't understand something: Can I overload a method
that was inherited?

test.cpp: In function `int main()':
test.cpp:27: no matching function for call to `derived::displ ay()'
test.cpp:18: candidates are: void derived::displa y(int)

Why it should be?

I believe that's what FAQ 23.9 is all about.
