    Method overloading is not possible in Objective-C. However, your example actually will work because you have created two different methods with different selectors: -AddMethod:: and AddMethod:. There is a colon for each interleaved parameter. It’s normal to put some text in also e.g. -addMethodX:Y: but you don’t have to.
