Method overloading in Java
Method overloading is a type of static polymorphism. In Method overloading, we can define multiple methods with the same name but with different parameters. Consider the following example program.
Example
public class Tester {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Tester tester = new Tester();
System.out.println(tester.add(1, 2));
System.out.println(tester.add(1, 2,3));
}
public int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
public int add(int a, int b, int c) {
return a + b + c;
}
}Output

Here we’ve used a method add() which can take either two or three parameters and can acts accordingly. This is called method overloading or static polymorphism.
