*Method Overloading
        developing the same method with different argument list is called as method overloading. The argument list should differ in either of below 3 ways-

• Type of arguments should be different.
• Number of argument should be different.
• Position of arg should be different.

ex-

 class="prettyprint prettyprinted"
public class Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("program starts");
        add(5, 10);//this will call add(int a, int b)
        add(4.6, 10); //this will call add(double a, int b)
        System.out.println("Program ends.");
    }
    public static void add(int a, int b){
        System.out.println("add(int a, int b)");
    }
    public static void add(double a, int b){
        System.out.println("add(double a, int b)");
    }
}

output

---------

program starts
add(int a, int b)
add(double a, int b)
Program ends.

Note-

•  Inside a class, both static method as well as non-static method can be overloaded.
• In java, methods can not be overloaded by giving different return type.
• java identify the overloaded method based on the arguments, it does not identify based on the return type nor 'static' keyword.
• There can't be two methods with the same method signature inside a class.
