you can override some inherited code structure for example methods or variables if you have two classes: based and derived in derived you can override public void example(){System.out.println("something");} with public void example(){System.out.println("nothing");}

but dont confuse with overloading this is writing few methods with the same name and return type but with different type of count parameters

in extending you take the methods of base class and now you can overriding this methods word extends means like this class is subclass of base class override is redefine of supeclass code for specific task in subclass
