difference between function hiding and overloading

Question

I can't find any difference between function hiding and overloading. As the function hiding is the function that is present in derived class and hides the function of a base class. Having same name of the function in both of them. Overloading: having same name but different signature in both derived and base class.

class A {
    void print(int);
};
class B: public A {
    void print(float);
};

does it hide function or overload ?

Answer 1

The function B::print hides the parent function A::print.

If you want to overload you need to pull in the A::print function into the scope of B:

class B : public A {
public:
    using A::print;  // Pull in (all) A::print symbols into the scope of B

    void print(float);  // Now overloads A::print
};
