java 7 method overloading code example

Example 1: what is method overloading in java

Method overloading is providing 
two separate methods in a class 
with the same name but different arguments,
while the method return type 
may or may not be different, which
allows us to reuse the same method name.
In my framework==
I use implicit wait in Selenium. Implicit wait
is an example of overloading. In Implicit wait
we use different time stamps such as SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS etc.,
A class having multiple methods with
same name but different parameters 
is called Method Overloading

Example 2: program for method overloading in java

class Calculate
{
  void sum (int a, int b)
  {
    System.out.println("sum is"+(a+b)) ;
  }
  void sum (float a, float b)
  {
    System.out.println("sum is"+(a+b));
  }
  Public static void main (String[] args)
  {
    Calculate  cal = new Calculate();
    cal.sum (8,5);      //sum(int a, int b) is method is called.
    cal.sum (4.6f, 3.8f); //sum(float a, float b) is called.
  }
}
