What is meant by method overloading? Explain with an example.
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
public class Sum {
public int sum(int x, int y)
{
return (x + y);
}
public int sum(int x, int y, int z)
{
return (x + y + z);
}
public double sum(double x, double y)
{
return (x + y);
}
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));
}
}
