What is method overloading in Python?

Can you explain what method overloading is in Python?

Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameters in a class.

How does it work in Python since it doesn't support traditional overloading?

In Python, you can achieve similar behavior using default arguments or variable-length arguments.

Can you give me an example of method overloading in Python?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class Example:
    def add(self, a, b):
        return a + b
    
    def add(self, a, b, c):
        return a + b + c

In this case, the second add method can take three parameters.

What if I want to handle different types of arguments?

You can use type checking within a single method to handle different types of arguments.
