Python Tutorial for Beginners: How to Override or Overload a Function (And Why You'd Want To)

A succinct tutorial on overriding functions in Python.

Welcome to my series for Learning Python, where I will be teaching fundamental concepts in the Python programming language.

These videos will focus on one aspect of Python at a time, but your understanding of the material will be greatly improved through usage. I recommend applying the concepts described here in your own project, or viewing the Developer Diary series where I use these tools on bigger projects.

Video is great, however, title is misleading. Maybe things have changed, but I have always known that overriding is as descried here and overloading (at least in Java) is defining the same name with different parameter types. The two terms are not synonymous as your video title appears to imply.
