Method Overloading vs Overriding | Dataford Interview Questions

What is method overloading and overriding?

Implement demonstrate_polymorphism(calls) to model both concepts. Use one calculator method that supports two or three numeric arguments, and a derived calculator that overrides describe(). Each call is a dictionary with object, method, and args; return the results in order.

Constraints

1 <= len(calls) <= 1000
Each call object is either "base" or "advanced"
Each method is "add" or "describe"
Each add call contains exactly 2 or 3 integers
Each describe call contains no arguments

Function Signature

def demonstrate_polymorphism(calls):
