Java method overloading

Example below demonstrates method overloading in
java. In java method overloading means creating more than a single method
with same name with different signatures. In the example three methods are
created with same name. Java understands these methods with there
signatures. Java identifies the methods by comparing their signatures like
return types, constructor parameters & access modifier used.
Here is the code:
class Overload {
void test(int a) {
System.out.println("a: " + a);
}
void test(int a, int b) {
System.out.println("a and b: " + a + "," + b);
}
double test(double a) {
System.out.println("double a: " + a);
return a*a;
}
}
class MethodOverloading {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Overload overload = new Overload();
double result;
overload.test(10);
overload.test(10, 20);
result = overload.test(5.5);
System.out.println("Result : " + result);
}
} |
