Method Overloading in Java

Method Overloading in Java

Method Overloading is a feature in Java that allows a class to have multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists. The methods can have a different number or types of parameters. The decision on which method to invoke is made by the compiler based on the arguments provided during the method call.

 Example:

public class Calculator {

    // Method to add two integers

    public int add(int a, int b) {

        return a + b;

    }


    // Method to add three integers

    public int add(int a, int b, int c) {

        return a + b + c;

    }


    // Method to add two doubles

    public double add(double a, double b) {

        return a + b;

    }


    // Method to concatenate two strings

    public String concatenate(String str1, String str2) {

        return str1 + str2;

    }

}


Method Overloading in Action:


public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Calculator calculator = new Calculator();


        // Overloaded methods for addition

        int sum1 = calculator.add(5, 10);

        int sum2 = calculator.add(2, 3, 5);


        // Overloaded method for addition with doubles

        double doubleSum = calculator.add(2.5, 3.7);


        // Overloaded method for string concatenation

        String result = calculator.concatenate("Hello, ", "World!");


        // Displaying Results

        System.out.println("Sum of two integers: " + sum1);

        System.out.println("Sum of three integers: " + sum2);

        System.out.println("Sum of two doubles: " + doubleSum);

        System.out.println("Concatenated string: " + result);

    }

}


In this example, the `Calculator` class demonstrates method overloading:


- Two methods for integer addition with different parameter counts.

- A method for double addition with a different parameter type.

- A method for string concatenation.


During the method calls in the `Main` class, the compiler determines the appropriate method to invoke based on the number and types of arguments passed. Method overloading enhances code readability and provides flexibility when dealing with different data types or varying numbers of parameters.

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods In Java, objects can be passed as parameters to methods and returned from methods just like other primitive data types. This allows for flexibility and the manipulation of object state within methods. Let's explore how passing and returning objects work in Java. Passing Objects as Parameters When you pass an object as a parameter to a method, you are essentially passing a reference to that object. This means that changes made to the object inside the method will affect the original object outside the method.  Example: class Car {     String model;     Car(String model) {         this.model = model;     } } public class CarProcessor {     // Method to modify the Car object     static void modifyCar(Car car, String newModel) {         car.model = newModel;     }     public static void main(String[] args) {       ...

Chained Exceptions

 Chained exceptions, also known as nested exceptions, allow you to associate one exception with another. This feature is useful when you want to provide more context or information about the cause of an exception. In Java, you can chain exceptions using constructors that take a `Throwable` (or its subclasses) as an argument. Syntax: try {     // Code that may throw an exception } catch (ExceptionType1 e1) {     throw new ExceptionType2("Additional information", e1); } Explanation: - Inside a `catch` block, you can create a new exception object and pass the original exception (`e1`) as the cause. - The chained exception (`ExceptionType2`) includes a message and the original exception (`e1`) as its cause. - This technique allows you to preserve the original exception's stack trace and context while providing additional information about the higher-level exception. - Chained exceptions can be caught and processed at higher levels of the call stack, allowing for bet...
