What are some examples of method overloading in Java?

Method overloading in Java allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. For example, you can have a method called add that adds two integers and another that adds two double values.

Can you show me the code for those examples?

Sure! Here’s a simple example:

public class Calculator {
    // Method to add two integers
    public int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

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

In this code, the add method is overloaded to handle both integers and doubles.

Are there any limitations to method overloading?

Yes, method overloading cannot be done by changing only the return type. The parameter list must differ in type or number.
