method overloading in same class with different params name

Question

I have a method in super class

protected int discount(int amount)

and a method in subclass

protected int discount(int amount1)

Is the method in subclass is going to overload or not???

This question appears to be off-topic because OP can easily test this in any electric device that has a compiler. — Maroun, Mar 06 '14 at 08:48
@AliAnsari You probably mean `override`. Please do read the difference between `override` and `overload`, e.g. in (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12374399/difference-between-method-overloading-and-overriding-in-java) — wolfrevo, Mar 06 '14 at 08:52

No, method overloading works if you have different type or number of arguments. variable names don't matter

(Excepting your misuse of terminology.) In Java, if you have a function in a sub-class that is identical in name, parameters and (loosely), the return type to a function in the super-class then objects of the sub-class type will use the function in the sub-class. This is called function overriding. (And in Java, unlike C++, is automatic).

(Function overloading is used to describe functions that have identical names but differing parameters.)
