it looks like you're using a non-standard definition of the word "overloading".
here are the usual definitions (quoting from a random google page):

    "Overloading a method refers to having two methods which share the
    same name but have different signatures."

    "Overriding a method refers to having a new implementation of a method
    with the same signature in a subclass."
