Method Overloading
Explore method overloading in C# to create multiple versions of a method with different parameter types, counts, or modifiers. Learn how overloading improves code flexibility by allowing the same method name to perform varied actions based on input, including using the params keyword for variable arguments and parameter modifiers like ref, out, and in.
We'll cover the following...
Overload a method
Sometimes, we might need to create a method that, depending on the type and number of parameters, will perform a slightly different set of actions.
Suppose we have a method called Multiply() that takes two numbers and multiplies them. What if we need the same method to accept not two, but three numbers?
That’s where method overloading comes into play.
Method signature
In C#, we can create several methods that have the same name but differ in other portions of its signature. Method signature consists of several parts:
- Method name
- Parameter quantities
- Parameter types
- Parameter order
- Parameter modifiers
Note: Parameter names and the method’s return type aren’t part of the ...
