Function overloading (method overloading)

> Ability to create multiple [[function|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 depending > on context.\ > — [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading)

Example in C++

#include <iostream>
 
int Volume(int s) {  // Volume of a cube.
  return s * s * s;
}
 
double Volume(double r, int h) {  // Volume of a cylinder.
  return 3.1415926 * r * r * static_cast<double>(h);
}
 
long Volume(long l, int b, int h) {  // Volume of a cuboid.
  return l * b * h;
}
 
int main() {
  std:<wbr class="f"> cout << Volume(10);
  std:<wbr class="f"> cout << Volume(2.5, 8);
  std:<wbr class="f"> cout << Volume(100l, 75, 15);
}
