What is the main purpose of method overloading in Java?

To improve the performance of the code by having multiple methods with the same name but different implementations

To allow a class to have multiple methods with the same name and implementation

To improve the readability of the code by having multiple methods with the same name but different implementations (correct)

What is the key difference between method overriding and method overloading in Java?

Overriding involves having multiple methods with the same name in the same class, while overloading involves changing the implementation of a method in a subclass

Overriding involves changing the return type of a method, while overloading involves changing the number or data type of the arguments
