CCreate methods with different names but same parameters
DChange the return type of a method without changing parameters
Step-by-Step Solution

  4. Quick Check:

    Method overloading = Define methods with same name, different parameters [OK]
Quick Trick: Same name, different parameters means method overloading [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing overloading with overriding
  • Thinking return type alone can overload
  • Believing method names must be different
