what is overloading a method in java code example

Example 1: 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.
  }
}

Example 2: 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);
    }
}
