What is a method signature in Java?

What is a method signature in Java?

A method signature in Java includes the method's name and its parameter types. It uniquely identifies a method.

Can you give me an example of a method signature?

Sure! For example, public int add(int a, int b) is a method signature where add is the method name and it takes two integer parameters.

What happens if two methods have the same name but different parameters?

That's called method overloading. Java allows multiple methods with the same name as long as their parameter lists are different.

Are return types part of the method signature?

No, the return type is not considered part of the method signature in Java.
