Method overloading and method overriding both support inheritance.Method overriding in Java works like Virtual function in C++.
So Overloading is done at compile time and overriding is done at run time.

Method overloading and overriding are supported in inheritance both are concept of polymorphism. Overriding is run-time and Overloading is compile time thats all.

Because the method overloading relationship is internal to a class where as method overriding relationship is between a parent class and a child class.
i.e...,overriding blocks(hides) the definition of a method of a parent class which have the same method signaures in the child class where as the metod overloading doesn't because its method signitures are different.
