LOL we also have the context of software engineering James, being an engineer I was mentally accustomed to using "overriding" in regards to polymorphism in OOP. There are interesting boundaries related to theory and implementation in the virtual worlds created in software. Things get wired together in various ways cross-context to make them work. For example, in OOP entropy methods in a thermodynamics class could be overridden when using entropy methods in an information theory class. “Method overloading means writing two or more methods in the same class by using same method name, but the passing parameters is different.” “Method overriding means we use the method names in the different classes, that means parent class method is used in the child class.” But you’re right linguistically we’re talking about overloaded terms. But I don’t think I’m really overloading them I think they are getting used correctly but just getting implemented in non-traditional ways. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5ff6237e11d945fb-Mdb0337e5c875aa27267703fc Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
