title: Method Overloading description: Java mein method overloading ka concept
Same class mein same naam ke multiple methods, lekin different parameters.
Rules
- Parameter count alag ho, ya
- Parameter types alag hoon, ya
- Parameter order alag ho
java exampleWoHoTech
class Display {
void show(int a) { System.out.println("int: " + a); }
void show(double a) { System.out.println("double: " + a); }
void show(String a) { System.out.println("String: " + a); }
void show(int a, int b) { System.out.println("two ints: " + a + ", " + b); }
void show(int a, double b) { System.out.println("int, double"); }
void show(double a, int b) { System.out.println("double, int"); }
}Overloading is NOT based on Return Type
java exampleWoHoTech
// Compile Error — sirf return type alag nahi kar sakte
int getValue() { return 1; }
double getValue() { return 1.0; } // ERRORType Promotion in Overloading
java exampleWoHoTech
class Test {
void method(long a) { System.out.println("long"); }
}
Test t = new Test();
t.method(10); // int automatically long mein promote ho gayaReal Example — println
System.out.println() bhi overloaded hai:
println(int)println(double)println(String)println(boolean)println(char[])
