Understanding OOP Concepts: Method Overloading
Method Overloading is a technique that allows a class multiple methods having the same name but different in parameters. It’s like constructor overloading. This technique is also called compile-time polymorphism or static binding or early binding.
There are different ways to overload a method in Java. They are:
Number of parameters
This method overloading is done by having different number of parameters. The example:
class MyClass {
public void add(int i) {
// code
}
public void add(int i, int j) {
// code
}
}Data type of parameters
This method overloading is done by having different data types of parameters. The example:
class MyClass {
public void add(int i, int j) {
// code
}
public void add(int i, float j) {
// code
}
}Sequence of Data type of parameters
This method overloading is done by having sequence of data type of parameters. The example:
class MyClass {
public void add(int i, float j) {
// code
}
public void add(float i, int j) {
// code
}

Links
You can add links by adding text inside of [] and the link inside of (), like so:
Lists
To add a numbered list you can simply start with a number and a ., like so:
1. The first item in my list
For an unordered list, you can add a dash -, like so:
- The start of my list
Images
You can add images by selecting the image icon, which will upload and add an image to the editor, or you can manually add the image by adding an exclamation !, followed by the alt text inside of [], and the image URL inside of (), like so:
Dividers
To add a divider you can add three dashes or three asterisks:
--- or ***
