Method Overloading
Understand method overloading by defining multiple methods with the same name but unique signatures to handle different parameter types, quantities, and modifiers.
We'll cover the following...
We often require methods that execute similar logic but accept different parameter types or quantities. Consider a Multiply() method designed for two operands. If the requirements expand to support three operands, we use overloading to maintain a consistent API.
Method signature
In C#, we can create several methods that have the same name but differ in other portions of their signature. A method signature consists of several parts:
Method name
Parameter quantities
Parameter types
Parameter order
Parameter modifiers
Note: Parameter names and the method return type are not part of the method signature.
Method overloading creates several methods that have the same name but differ in any other parts of the signature.
