function overloading in c++

Function overloading in C++ allows you to define multiple functions with the same name but different parameters. This enables you to use the same function name for different operations based on the type and number of parameters passed to it. Here are the steps for function overloading in C++:

  1. Define multiple functions with the same name but different parameters.
  2. When calling the function, the compiler determines which function to execute based on the number and type of arguments passed.
  3. The function signatures (name and parameter list) must differ for the compiler to distinguish between the overloaded functions.
  4. Overloaded functions can have different return types, but the return type alone is not sufficient to differentiate between overloaded functions.
