METHOD OVERLOADING

    In Java, it is possible to define two or more methods within the same class that share the same name, as long as parameter declarations are different. Such methods are said to be overloaded, and the process is referred to as method overloading.

    Method overloading is one of the ways that Java supports polymorphism.

   When Overloaded method is invoked, Java uses type and/or number of arguments to decide which particular overloaded method to call.

    Return type of the methods are insufficient to distinguish two versions of the method.

    Ex:class Myclass

{

          int a;

          void getdata(int x)

          {

                   a=x;

          }

          void display()

          {

                   System.out.println("Value of A : "+a);

          }

          int sum(int x)

          {

                   System.out.println("Method with one integer is called");

                   return(a+x);

 }

 double sum(double x)

 {

  System.out.println("Method with one double is called");

  return(a+x);

 }

 int sum(int x,int y)

 {

  System.out.println("Method with two integers is called");

  return(a+x+y);

          }

}

class Overload

{

          public static void main(String args[])

          {

                   Myclass c=new Myclass();

                   c.getdata(10);

int x=c.sum(20);

double y=c.sum(10.50);

int z=c.sum(5,6);

System.out.print("\nX : "+x+" Y : "+y+" Z : "+z);

          }

}

Output:Method with one integer is called

          Method with one double is called

          Method with two integers is called

               X : 30  Y : 20.5  Z : 21
