Can I overload static methods in Java?
Overloading is a one of the mechanisms to achieve polymorphism where, a class contains two methods with same name and different parameters.
Whenever you call this method the method body will be bound with the method call based on the parameters.
Example
public class Calculator {
public int addition(int a , int b){
int result = a+b;
return result;
}
public int addition(int a , int b, int c){
int result = a+b+c;
return result;
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Calculator cal = new Calculator();
System.out.println(cal.addition(12, 13, 15));
}
}Output

Example
public class Calculator {
public static int addition(int a , int b){
int result = a+b;
return result;
}
public static int addition(int a , int b, int c){
int result = a+b+c;
return result;
}
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println(Calculator.addition(12, 13));
System.out.println(Calculator.addition(12, 13, 15));
}
