How do I implement function overloading in my code?

Function overloading allows you to define multiple functions with the same name but different parameters. What programming language are you using?

I'm using Java. Can you give me an example?

Sure! In Java, you can create multiple methods with the same name but different parameter types or counts. For example:

class MathUtils {
    int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }
    double add(double a, double b) {
        return a + b;
    }
}

This allows you to call add(2, 3) or add(2.5, 3.5).

What if I want to overload a method with different types of parameters?

You can overload methods by changing the parameter types. For example:

void display(int a) {
    System.out.println("Integer: " + a);
}
void display(String b) {
    System.out.println("String: " + b);
}

This way, you can call display(5) or display("Hello").

Are there any limitations to function overloading?

Yes, function overloading can lead to ambiguity if the compiler cannot determine which method to call. For instance, if you overload methods with parameters that can be implicitly converted to each other.
