Why Do We Use Overloading

Method overloading increases the readability of the program. Overloaded methods give programmers the flexibility to call a similar method for different types of data. Overloading is also used on constructors to create new objects given different amounts of data.

Why and how overloading is used in a class?

Method Overloading is a feature that allows a class to have more than one method having the same name, if their argument lists are different. It is similar to constructor overloading in Java, that allows a class to have more than one constructor having different argument lists.

What is Overloading in Java with example?

In Java, two or more methods may have the same name if they differ in parameters (different number of parameters, different types of parameters, or both). These methods are called overloaded methods and this feature is called method overloading. For example: void func() { ... } … Here, the func() method is overloaded.
