04 Feb C# Method Overloading
In C#, we can easily create and call methods with similar names and different parameters. Two or more methods can have similar names in C#, for example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
int Example(int age) int Example(int marks, int rank) float Example(float points) |
In the above example, note the Method name is the same, but the parameters are different. Therefore, the concept of overloading works by changing the,
- Number of Arguments
- Type of Arguments
Example 1 – Overloading Methods in C#
Let us see an example where we have methods with similar name and arguments with similar datatypes:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 |
using System; namespace Demo { public class Studyopedia { public static int ProdMethod(int x,int y){ return x * y; } public static int ProdMethod(int w, int x, int y, int z) { return w * x * y * z; } static void Main() { int mul1 = ProdMethod(2, 3); int mul2 = ProdMethod(5, 6, 7, 8); Console.WriteLine("Product of two numbers = {0}",mul1); Console.WriteLine("Product of four numbers = {0}",mul2); } } } |
Output
|
1 2 3 4 |
Product of two numbers = 6 Product of four numbers = 1680 |
Example 2 – Overloading Methods in C#
Let us see an example where we have methods with similar name but arguments with different datatypes:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 |
using System; namespace Demo { public class Studyopedia { // Method 1 public static int ProdMethod(int x,int y){ return x * y; } // Method 2 with similar name but arguments with different datatypes public static float ProdMethod(float x,float y){ return x * y; } // Method 3 with similar name but arguments with different datatypes public static double ProdMethod(double x,double y){ return x * y; } static void Main() { // Callthe three methods int mul1 = ProdMethod(2, 3); float mul2 = ProdMethod(5.7f, 7.8f); double mul3 = ProdMethod(8.25, 6.27); Console.WriteLine("Product of two int numbers = {0}",mul1); Console.WriteLine("Product of two float numbers = {0}",mul2); Console.WriteLine("Product of two double numbers = {0}",mul3); } } } |
Output
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
Product of two int numbers = 6 Product of two float numbers = 44.46 Product of two double numbers = 51.7275 |
