When a function in the derived class has the same name as a function in the base class but with different parameters, it is considered an overloaded function.

This is different from overriding, which occurs when a derived class provides its own implementation of a function from the base class with the same name and the same parameters. Therefore, the function is not reused or redefined, but overloaded in the derived class.
