Method Overloading in java programming (V57)

Method Overloading

Method Overloading means defining multiple methods with the same name but different parameters (number, type, or order). It allows you to perform similar operations in different ways.

Create Project Name: Calculator

Source Code1: Operation.java

Copied!

public class Operation {

    // Method 1: add two integers
    public int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    // Method 2: add three integers
    public int add(int a, int b, int c) {
        return a + b + c;
    }

    // Method 3: add two doubles
    public double add(double a, double b) {
        return a + b;
    }
}

Source Code2: Calculator.java

Copied!

public class Calculator {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Operation calc = new Operation();

        System.out.println("add(2, 3): " + calc.add(2, 3));         // Calls int add(int, int)
        System.out.println("add(2, 3, 4): " + calc.add(2, 3, 4));   // Calls int add(int, int, int)
        System.out.println("add(2.5, 3.5): " + calc.add(2.5, 3.5)); // Calls double add(double, double)
    }
    
}
