overloading example java

Example 1: What's method overloading

Overloading mean same method name and different parameter, 
it can happen in same class. it's a feature that 
allows us to have more than one method with same name.

Example: sort method of Arrays class
Arrays.sort(int[] arr)
Arrays.sort(String[] arr)
....
Method overloading improves the reusability and readability. 
and it's easy to remember 
(one method name instead of remembering multiple method names)

Example 2: method overloading

// Java program to demonstrate working of method
// overloading in Java. 
  
public class Sum { 
  
    // Overloaded sum(). This sum takes two int parameters 
    public int sum(int x, int y) 
    { 
        return (x + y); 
    } 
  
    // Overloaded sum(). This sum takes three int parameters 
    public int sum(int x, int y, int z) 
    { 
        return (x + y + z); 
    } 
  
    // Overloaded sum(). This sum takes two double parameters 
    public double sum(double x, double y) 
    { 
        return (x + y); 
    } 
  
    // Driver code 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        Sum s = new Sum(); 
        System.out.println(s.sum(10, 20)); 
        System.out.println(s.sum(10, 20, 30)); 
        System.out.println(s.sum(10.5, 20.5)); 
    } 
}

Example 3: method overloading in java

// Overloading by Changin the number of Arguments
class MethodOverloading {
    private static void display(int a){
        System.out.println("Arguments: " + a);
    }

    private static void display(int a, int b){
        System.out.println("Arguments: " + a + " and " + b);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        display(1);
        display(1, 4);
    }
}
