Method overriding is different from method overloading . Method overloading will be discussed in the next module.
In the next module, I will explain the use of overloaded methods for the purpose of achieving compile-time polymorphism.
This section contains a variety of miscellaneous information.
Financial : Although the Connexions site makes it possible for you to download a PDF file for thismodule at no charge, and also makes it possible for you to purchase a pre-printed version of the PDF file, you should beaware that some of the HTML elements in this module may not translate well intoPDF.
I also want you to know that, I receive no financial compensation from the Connexions website even if you purchase the PDF version of the module.
In the past, unknown individuals have misappropriated copies of my modules from cnx.org, converted them to Kindle books, andplaced them for sale on Amazon.com showing me as the author. I receive no compensation for those sales and don't know who doesreceive compensation. If you purchase such a book, please be aware that it is a bootleg copy of a module that is freelyavailable on cnx.org.

A complete listing of the program is shown in Listing 5 below.
| Listing 5 . The program named Radio03. |

Copyright 2002, R.G.Baldwin
Simulates the manufacture and use of acombination car radio and tape player.
Uses method overriding to avoidmodifying the class named Radio.
This program produces the followingoutput on the computer screen:Combo object constructed
Play RadioPlaying the station at 93.5 Mhz
Insert TapeTape is in
Radio is offPlay Radio
Remove the tape firstRemove Tape
Tape is outRadio is on
Play RadioPlaying the station at 93.5 Mhz
Play TapeInsert the tape first
Insert TapeTape is in
Radio is offPlay Tape
Tape is playingRemove Tape
Tape is outRadio is on
Play RadioPlaying the station at 93.5 Mhz
