Type Promotion

010-002 - Type Promotion

The most basic form of overloading is varying the number of parameters. For example, you can create variations of a calculation method that accept one, two, or three values.

Practical examples:

  • A method processing one value
  • A method processing two values
  • A method processing multiple values

This allows the caller to automatically select the appropriate method based on the number of arguments needed.

Example:
public int sum(int a) { return a; }
public int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
public int sum(int a, int b, int c) { return a + b + c; }
