How does function overloading work in other languages?

Can you explain how function overloading works in languages like C++ and Java?

Sure! In C++, function overloading allows you to define multiple functions with the same name but different parameters. The compiler determines which function to call based on the arguments passed.

What about Java? Is it similar?

Yes, Java also supports function overloading. You can have multiple methods with the same name in a class, as long as their parameter lists differ in type or number.

Are there any languages that don't support function overloading?

Yes, some languages like Python do not support traditional function overloading. Instead, you can use default arguments or variable-length argument lists to achieve similar functionality.

Can you give an example of function overloading in C++?

Certainly! Here's a simple example:

void display(int a) {
    cout << "Integer: " << a;
}

void display(double b) {
    cout << "Double: " << b;
}

In this case, both functions are named display, but they accept different types of parameters.
