00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on method overloading in java. |
00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn |
00:08 | What is method overloading. |
00:10 | And to overload method.
|
00:13 | Here we are using
|
00:24 | To follow this tutorial you must know |
00:26 | how to create methods and |
00:29 | To overload constructor in java using eclipse.
|
00:32 | If not, for relevant tutorials please visit our website which is as shown,
(http://www.spoken-tutorial.org) |
00:39 | What is method overloading? |
00:42 | Define two or more methods with same name within a class. |
00:46 | They must differ in number or types of parameters. |
00:50 | These methods are called overloaded methods. |
00:54 | The process is called method overloading. |
00:57 | Let us now see how to overload method. |
01:00 | In eclipse, I have a class Addition. |
01:06 | Inside the class we will declare two integer variables. |
01:10 | So type int a is equalto 10 and int b is equalto 5. |
01:19 | Let us create a method to add these two integers. |
01:23 | So type void add parentheses. |
01:30 | Within curly brackets type System dot out dot println. |
01:40 | Inside parentheses a+b. |
01:44 | So this method will give us the sum of two integer variables. |
01:50 | Let us create another method which takes two parameter. |
01:55 | So type void addTwoNumbers. |
02:04 | Within parentheses int num1 comma int num2. |
02:14 | Then within curly brackets System dot out dot println num1 plus num2. |
02:35 | So this method will give us the sum of two values that are passed as argument to this methods. |
02:44 | Let us create an object of the class and call the methods. |
02:49 | So in the Main method type Addition i.e the class name obj is equalto new Addition parentheses semicolon. |
03:13 | ThenObj.add |
03:18 | AndObj.addTwonumbers within parentheses. |
03:31 | we will pass two arguments. |
03:33 | Suppose if we pass floating point values. |
03:37 | So type 2.5 comma and an integer 3. |
03:45 | We get an error which states that , the method addTwoNumbers int comma int of the class addition is not applicable for the argument double comma int. |
03:57 | So what we do is in the method instead of int we will give double. |
04:06 | So replaceintby double. Save the file |
04:12 | we see that the error is resolved. |
04:17 | we also know that Java automatically i.e. implicitly coverts int into double. |
04:24 | So here we can pass an integer arguments as well. |
04:28 | Now Save and Run the program |
04:32 | In the output we see the sum of two integers variables, |
04:37 | And the sum of two numeric arguments that we passed. |
04:43 | Now we see that both the method performs same operation. |
04:50 | The difference is that the first method has no parameter. While the second method has parameters. |
05:00 | So in such case java provides us with method overloading. |
05:05 | So what we do is give same name to both the methods. |
05:09 | So replace addTwoNumbers with add also change here. |
05:29 | We will define one more method with same opearation. |
05:33 | So type void add. |
05:38 | AndWithin parentheses int n1 comma int n2 comma int n3. |
05:51 | So we have given three parameters. |
05:54 | One Within curly brackets System dot out dot println. |
06:03 | Within parentheses n1 plus n2 plus n3. |
06:11 | So this method will give sum of three numbers. |
06:17 | let us call this method. |
06:19 | So type obj dot add 1 comma 5 comma 4 |
06:35 | Save' and Run |
0639 | In the output we see the sum of three number i.e10 |
06:47 | So Java compiler overloads the proper method depending on the parameters. |
06:52 | It checks the number and type of parameter passed |
06:57 | So as a programmer we dont have worry about the method name. |
07:01 | Nor even the type or number of argument we passed. |
07:05 | We can create one more method which append strings. |
07:11 | So we will create one more overload method |
07:15 | type void add String s1 comma String s2. |
07:29 | Within curly brackets System dot out dot println. |
07:41 | Within parentheses s1 plus s2. |
07:45 | And we will call this method. |
07:50 | So type obj dot add. |
07:55 | Within parentheses in double quotes Hello comma in double quotes space World. |
08:07 | Now Save and Run the program. |
08:12 | So in the output we see Hello space World. |
08:16 | So the add method with two string arguments, appends the string. |
08:21 | Suppose now we declare add method with return type. |
08:27 | So type int add parentheses no parameter and curly brackets. |
08:40 | We get an error it states that duplicate method add in type addition |
08:48 | This is because we have already declared a method add with no parameters. |
08:54 | So remember that to overload method the parameters must differ. |
08:5 | Having different return types will not overload the method. |
09:03 | So remove this method and Save the file. |
09:09 | This is how method overloading is done in java |
09: 16 | So in this tutorial we learnt, |
09:18 | About method overloading. |
09:20 | To overload method. |
09:22 | And advantage of method overloading. |
09:25 | For self assessment, create a method subtract that subtract that number |
09:31 | Overload it.
