MethodOverloading
• Java allows you to define multiple methods in the same class with the same
name but with different parameters.
• Function parameters can differ in terms of their
number, type, or order.
public int add(int a, int b)
{ return a + b; }
public double add(double a, double b)
{ return a + b; }

Workingof Method Overloading
• Method Name: Overloaded methods must have the same name.
• Parameter Lists: The parameter lists of overloaded methods must
differ in at least one of the following ways:
1) The number of parameters.
2) The data types of the parameters.
3) The order of the parameters.
