No it is not overloading, overloading is when you have more
methods with same name and differents params. It is overriding
Which is why I said it is "is more akin to "overloading"" i.e.
what I meant is that the behaviour is kind-of "similar" to
overloading in your example. I did not mean it was classical
overloading.
The thing is that, if the base class method is non-virtual,
calling it "overriding" is confusing and somewhat misleading -
all the derived class does is hide (or "shadow" if you like) the
base class method.
It is also not polymorphic
I did not say otherwise :-)
Granted, but your example is confusing in the light that the OP
specially asked about virtual and polymorphic behaviour.
