JAVA OVERLOADING METHODS

Question

Can you, please, show me as simple as possible examples of overloading with explanation?
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

https://beginnersbook.com/2013/05/method-overloading/
so many good example are provide there.

Answer 2

In simple word - overloading is that the methods or constructors have the same name but different number of parameter, or type of parameter, or both - different type and number. that's all.

Answer 3

Look here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html there is a Math class..Find a min or max methods. there is overloading by type: int, long, float, double. there are static methods so you can call them in main method by Math.min(num1, num2) and give to num1, num2 different type variables, and you have overloading

Answer 4

or you can declare you own overloading like that:
public class SomeClass{
public SomeClass(Int i){
//some code
}
public SomeClass(Int i, Int j){
//some other code
}
}
and you have constructor overloading

Answer 5

Thank you, Krzysztof303! I understand what is it and how it works overall, but I'm trying to find as simple as possible program that uses two types of overloading and calling them both from the main

Answer 6

Thanks, Arun Tomar! I've been on that page many times but didn't found what I looking for. I need a practical use of overloading in the simple program.

Answer 7

If a class has multiple methods having same name but different in parameters, it is known as Method Overloading.

Method Overloading is a feature that allows a class to have two or more methods having same name, if their argument lists are different.

Suppose you have to perform addition of the given numbers but there can be any number of arguments, if you write the method such as a(int,int) for two parameters, and b(int,int,int) for three parameters then it may be difficult for you as well as other programmers to understand the behavior of the method because its name differs.

Method overloading increases the readability of the program.
