Question

I am writing a simple program in which I have defined a function which accepts certain type of argument , now new requirement I got has same procedures to be done which I had already in written in earlier function , but this time it should on different type of argument.I am not able to call straight way this same function for two different types of arguments. So my question is how I should modify my function to behave in such a way. I am hoping that it is possible. I would like something as ,I have function like Sum(int 1,int j) now I would like to use same function for double type arguments.

Answer 1

This is called overloading. What you can do is simply write two functions:

public double Sum(int 1, int j)

public double Sum(double 1, double j)

And your program will call the appropriate one based on the arguments you pass to it.
