  2. Function overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

    In some programming languages, function overloading or method overloading is the ability to create multiple functions of the same name with different implementations. Calls to an overloaded function will run a specific implementation of that function appropriate to the context of the call, allowing one function call to perform different tasks ...

  3. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Scala treats all operators as methods and thus allows operator overloading by proxy. In Raku, the definition of all operators is delegated to lexical functions, and so, using function definitions, operators can be overloaded or new operators added. For example, the function defined in the Rakudo source for incrementing a Date object with "+" is:

  4. Method (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)

    Method overloading, on the other hand, refers to differentiating the code used to handle a message based on the parameters of the method. If one views the receiving object as the first parameter in any method then overriding is just a special case of overloading where the selection is based only on the first argument.

  5. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    There are methods that a subclass cannot override. For example, in Java, a method that is declared final in the super class cannot be overridden. Methods that are declared private or static cannot be overridden either because they are implicitly final. It is also impossible for a class that is declared final to become a super class. [9]

  6. Ad hoc polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_polymorphism

    Ad hoc polymorphism is a dispatch mechanism: control moving through one named function is dispatched to various other functions without having to specify the exact function being called. Overloading allows multiple functions taking different types to be defined with the same name; the compiler or interpreter automatically ensures that the right ...

  7. Double dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dispatch

    In C#, when calling an instance method accepting an argument, multiple dispatch can be achieved without employing the visitor pattern. This is done by using traditional polymorphism while also casting the argument to dynamic. [3] The run-time binder will choose the appropriate method overload at run-time.

  8. Virtual function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_function

    And even if methods owned by the base class call the virtual method, they will instead be calling the derived method. Overloading occurs when two or more methods in one class have the same method name but different parameters. Overriding means having two methods with the same method name and parameters. Overloading is also referred to as ...

  9. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    Actual implementation happens outside Java code, and such methods have no body. strictfp - Declares strict conformance to IEEE 754 in carrying out floating-point operations. synchronized - Declares that a thread executing this method must acquire monitor. For synchronized methods the monitor is the class instance or java.lang.Class if the ...
