Method Overloading in JAVA

Method Overloading 



Method Overloading Concept is used in JAVA when there are many methods inside the source code with the same name in the same class.

A JAVA code will have multiple methods with the same name while its parameters are different.

We can do method overloading by changing the parameter.

It is known as Method Signature.

So multiple methods can have same name with different parameters.

We should pass relevent agruments to the parameter when the method is being called.

Consider the following methods.

void one() {

}

void one(String a) {

}

void one(int x) {

}

void one(float x,float y) {

}

We can see there are 4 methods with the same name but with different parameters.

Now you can call them by giving suitable arguments.

one ();

one ("hello world !");

one (567);

one (56.9,45.3);

Simply, this is the way of using many methods with the same name in a same JAVA class in programming.

I think you all are able to understand how to use Method Overloading Concept in JAVA.

See you in the next article.Until then Good Bye !

Variable and Method types in JAVA

Image
  Variable types..... 1) Local variables/method local they are inside a method. eg :- class A {         void a () {         String x ;         }           } 2) Instance variables the variables inside a class. but cannot be inside a method. eg :- class B {          String x ;         } 3) Static variables/class variables Static variables must be in a class. but it cannot be inside a method. eg :- class A {          static String x ;         }            Method types..... 1) Pre - defined methods. - pre built methods in JDK - public static  void main (String[]args) {} - print (); - get (); - set (); 2) User - defined methods. - methods created by the user. -2 types static methods - static void draw () {} non static nethods - void eat () {} / void write () {}   ...

Polymorphism

Image
 Polymorphism The process of calling the sub class methods by using the super class reference with the help of Overriding,Inheritance and Casting concepts. After we override a method of a super class inside a subclass,we can do casting and then through the super class reference,we can call the sub class method. We can perform many tasks in different classes by using this concept. This simply means "Many Forms". Assume that there is a company.It stores Biscuits and Cakes seperately.For that we have to develop a system to store them in the correct manner. As Java is a compiler,it executes its codes line by line. Now if we have either cakes or biscuits,the should have to store in their correct places. So for that we can use polymorphism with casting,inheritance and method overriding concepts. We can create seperate objects for those sub classes. Super class is called and then the sub class is executed. This is a simple idea about how we can use polymorphism practically. Let us d...

Casting

Image
Casting Integer Hierarchy long int short char byte Floating Hierarchy   double float According to the above sequence the data types that are in the highest point have the highest power than lowers. Upcasting We can understand upcasting simply as giving the subclass object to the super class variable. In upcasting we cannot access higher types by lower types. But lower types can be accessed by higher types. Downcasting Converting the sub class object added to the super class variable back into sub class variable. This is simply giving the super class variable to the sub class variable. For this,sub class object is used as parameter.
