C++ Overloading

C++ Overloading

C++ language allows programmers to specify more than one definition for a function name or an operator. This is one of the many exciting features that Object Oriented Language offers programmers. It is one of the important techniques that has extended the power and flexibility of C++. In this chapter you will learn about the types of overloading and how they are used within a C++ program.

What is Overloading?

Overloading is the technique to use a single identifier to define various methods or techniques of a class that differ in their input and output parameters. The concept of overloading is generally used when a program block conceptually execute the same task but with a slight distinctness in set of parameters.
Overloading is a concept used to avoid redundant code where the same method name or operator is used multiple times but with a different set of parameters or number of operands. The actual method that gets called during runtime is resolved at compile time, thus avoiding runtime errors. Overloading provides code clarity; reduce complexity, and increases runtime presentation of a code.
There are two types of overloading provided by C++. These are:
  • Operator Overloading
  • Function Overloading

Java Method Overriding

Java Method Overriding Declaring a method in the subclass which already exists there in the parent class is known as method overriding. When a class is inheriting a method from a superclass of its own, then there is an option of overriding the method provided it is not declared as final. The advantage of using overriding is the ability to classify a behavior that’s specific to the child class and the child class can implement a parent class method based on its necessity. There are certain rules that a programmer should follow in order to implement overriding. These are: In Java, a method can only be written in the child class and not in same class. Argument list should be exactly the same as that of the overridden method of that class. Instance methods can also be overridden if they are inherited by the child class. A constructor cannot be overridden. Final – declared methods cannot be overridden. Any method that is static cannot be used to override. The return type must have to be the...
