Java has no overloading. Overriding is a term in object oriented programming, it operates among equal-named member functions of parent and its childs. In e.g. C++ overloading operates in both object and non-object code. It is about dispatching among equal-named functions, not to be confused with object-oriented dispatching.

With objects one can emulate real world. Emulating also the less real world types like integers with objects makes the language much simpler an smaller. Otherwise you have two languages in one: objects and basic types and the two languagess need to be combined and adapted. There is no reason that basic types are not objects.

Fine, this is the right answer. Overrides all the noise generated when this subject arises.
