Method Overloading

Published in: C# 

To accomplish Method Overloading, a developer can define two or more methods with the same name. Each method will take a different set of parameters. The parameter combination or signature, is what the compiler uses to determine which method to use.

  1. using System;
  2. namespace MethodOverloading
  3. {
  4.     class Program
  5.     {
  6.         static void Main(string[] args)
  7.         {
  8.             MethodOverloadPlay(10, 3);
  9.             Console.WriteLine("+++++");
  10.             MethodOverloadPlay(5, 5, 6);
  11.             Console.WriteLine("+++++");
  12.             MethodOverloadPlay("SP");
  13.             Console.ReadLine();
  14.         }

  16.         static void MethodOverloadPlay(int number1, int number2)
  17.         {
  18.             int result = number1 + number2;
  19.             Console.WriteLine(result);
  20.         }

  22.         static void MethodOverloadPlay(int number1, int number2, int number3)
  23.         {
  24.             int result = number1 + number2 + number3;
  25.             Console.WriteLine(result);
  26.         }

  29.         {
  30.             Console.WriteLine("Breaking Benjamin & Sick Puppies Rock!");

Another way that ensures there's only one code-base method that implements the business functionality is to call the overloaded methods in sequence:

in the first MethodOverloadPlay you would call:

int result = MethodOverloadPlay(number1, number2, 0);
