Public class John { public void setValue(){ this.value = 0; } public void setValue(int

  • 0
Public class John {

public void setValue(){
   this.value = 0;
}
public void setValue(int v){
   this.value = v;
}

Now potentially how would i call these two methods??

John j = new John();
j.setValueO();
j.setValue(10);

Correct me if i am wrong.

  1. Is function overloading a concept of polymorphism? If not, under which OOP branch does this come.
  2. Encapsulation means Hiding the information and Abstraction means Hiding the implantation details. So when i do overload a method, do i carry anything on these two above… {Abstraction and Encpsulation}
  3. Is Overloading compile time or runtime? Why do they call this for overloading and overriding?

    Yes you are right, expect the typo which you have made?

    Is function overloading a concept of polymorphism? If not, under
    which OOP branch does this come.

    Well speaking from historical point of view, it does come but still many argue that its not a form of polymorphism.

    Overloading

    The method functions differently based on the arguements.

    Overriding

    The method functions differently based on which class was used to instainate it.The method bark could sound differently for Class CAT and Class DOG.

    Encapsulation means Hiding the information and Abstraction means
    Hiding the implantation details. So when i do overload a method, do i
    carry anything on these two above… {Abstraction and Encpsulation}

    Nope. May be someone can answer on this much clearer.

    Is Overloading compile time or runtime? Why do they call this for
    overloading and overriding?

    Compile time. In overriding the decision that method of which class is to be called is decided at runtime, hence it is runtime.

    In overloading the method definition, availability based on the parameters passed in the method call is checked at compile time only.
