重写和重载都用于实现多态性。

你可以在一个类中有一个方法 它在或中被覆盖 更多的子类。这个方法可以 不同的东西取决于哪个 类用于实例化对象。

    abstract class Beverage {
       boolean isAcceptableTemperature();
    }

    class Coffee extends Beverage {
       boolean isAcceptableTemperature() { 
           return temperature > 70;
       }
    }

    class Wine extends Beverage {
       boolean isAcceptableTemperature() { 
           return temperature < 10;
       }
    }

你也可以有一种方法 用两组或多组参数重载。这个方法可以 不同的东西基于 传递的参数类型。

    class Server {
        public void pour (Coffee liquid) {
            new Cup().fillToTopWith(liquid);
        }

        public void pour (Wine liquid) {
            new WineGlass().fillHalfwayWith(liquid);
        }

        public void pour (Lemonade liquid, boolean ice) {
            Glass glass = new Glass();
            if (ice) {
                glass.fillToTopWith(new Ice());
            }
            glass.fillToTopWith(liquid);
        }
    }

具体地说重载或重写并没有给出全貌。多态性就是对象根据其类型专门化其行为的能力。

我不同意这里的一些答案，因为重载是一种多态形式(参数多态)，在这种情况下，具有相同名称的方法可以具有不同的行为，给出不同的参数类型。一个很好的例子是操作符重载。您可以定义“+”来接受不同类型的参数——例如字符串或int型——并且基于这些类型，“+”将具有不同的行为。

多态性还包括继承和重写方法，尽管它们在基类型中可以是抽象的或虚拟的。在基于继承的多态性方面，Java只支持单个类继承，将其多态行为限制为单个基类型链。Java支持多个接口的实现，这是另一种形式的多态行为。

Polymorphism is a multiple implementations of an object or you could say multiple forms of an object. lets say you have class Animals as the abstract base class and it has a method called movement() which defines the way that the animal moves. Now in reality we have different kinds of animals and they move differently as well some of them with 2 legs, others with 4 and some with no legs, etc.. To define different movement() of each animal on earth, we need to apply polymorphism. However, you need to define more classes i.e. class Dogs Cats Fish etc. Then you need to extend those classes from the base class Animals and override its method movement() with a new movement functionality based on each animal you have. You can also use Interfaces to achieve that. The keyword in here is overriding, overloading is different and is not considered as polymorphism. with overloading you can define multiple methods "with same name" but with different parameters on same object or class.

多态是指多个形式，同一对象根据需求执行不同的操作。

多态可以通过以下两种方式实现

方法重写 方法重载

方法重载是指使用相同的方法名在同一个类中编写两个或多个方法，但传递的参数不同。

方法重写意味着我们在不同的类中使用方法名，这意味着父类的方法在子类中使用。

在Java中，为了实现多态，父类引用变量可以容纳子类对象。

为了实现多态，每个开发人员必须在项目中使用相同的方法名。

什么是多态性?

来自java教程

多态性的字典定义是指生物学中的一个原理，在这个原理中，一个有机体或物种可以有许多不同的形式或阶段。这个原则也可以应用于面向对象编程和Java语言等语言。类的子类可以定义它们自己独特的行为，同时还可以共享父类的一些相同功能。

通过对实例和定义的考虑，应采用覆盖式回答。

关于你的第二个问题:

如果你有一个抽象基类，它定义了一个没有实现的方法，并且你在子类中定义了这个方法，这仍然是覆盖的吗?

它应该被称为重写。

看一下这个例子，了解不同类型的覆盖。

基类不提供实现，子类必须重写完整方法-(抽象) 基类提供默认实现，子类可以改变行为 子类通过调用super.methodName()作为第一条语句向基类实现添加扩展 基类定义了算法的结构(Template方法)，子类将覆盖算法的一部分
