How to Overload Methods in C#

Method overloading is a technique in which you create multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists in the same class. This allows you to provide multiple implementations of a method that can be called depending on the number and types of arguments passed to the method.

Here’s an example of how to overload a method in C#:

public class Calculator
{
    public int Add(int x, int y)
    {
        return x + y;
    }

    public double Add(double x, double y)
    {
        return x + y;
    }
}

In this example, we have created two Add methods: one that takes two int arguments and one that takes two double arguments. When you call the Add method with two int arguments, the compiler will execute the first version of the method, and when you call it with two double arguments, it will execute the second version.

You can also overload a method by using default values for some of the parameters. For example:

public class Calculator
{
    public int Add(int x, int y, int z = 0)
    {
        return x + y + z;
    }
}
