Duck typing is a concept in dynamic programming languages like Python, where the type of an object is determined not by its class name, but by its behavior or the methods and attributes it defines. The term "duck typing" comes from the phrase "if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."

Both overriding and overloading are concepts in object-oriented programming that allow you to define methods with the same name but different behavior. However, they differ in their implementation and purpose.
