7.7. Method overloading

There isn't much difference between method overloading in Java and in C#. You have multiple methods of the same name and return type in the same class.

Like Java

• You cannot consider two methods with the same name and parameters but with a different return type as method overloading. For example, having

  public void DoThis (int j) {}
  

  and

  public int DoThis (int j) {return 0;}
  

  in the same class is illegal.

• Constructors can be similarly overloaded. Like Java, you can invoke overloaded constructors from another constructor using the this keyword (see section 7.6).
