What is Overloading?

[damponting44]

Overloading is a concept used to avoid redundant code where the same method name is used multiple times but with a different set of parameters. It is used in programming languages that enforce type-checking in function calls during compilation.

Overloading - same method name with different arguments, may or may not be same return type written in the same class itself.

[david_smith01]

Overloading refers to the ability to use a single identifier to define multiple methods of a class that differ in their input and output parameters.

Method Overloading is the ability that allows a class to have 2 or more methods with the same name, the difference is the parameter.


In the overloading method the parameter differences include:
- Number of parameters
- Data type of parameters
- Sequence of parameter data types


Method Overloading is also known as Static Polymorphism.
