Shadowing

In short, it occurs, when the same variable name is present in the parent scope. So, local variable hides the variable present in parent scope.

Field shadowing​

It occurrs when we declare a member in sub-class with the same name as the member in super-class.

It occurrs when we declare a method in sub-class with the same name as the method in super-class.
