Method Overloading

class OverloadDemo {
void test() { class Overload {
System.out.println("No parameters"); public static void main(String args[]) {
} OverloadDemo ob = new
OverloadDemo();
// Overload test for two integer parameters. int i= 50;
void test(int a, int b) { double result;
System.out.println("a and b: " + a + " " + b); ob.test();
} ob.test(i); //will it execute ?
ob.test(10, 20);
// overload test for a double parameter result = ob.test(123.25);
double test(double a) { System.out.println("Result of
System.out.println("double a: " + a); ob.test(123.25): " + result);
return a*a; }

Constructor Overloading
class Box {
// compute and return volume
double width;
double volume() {
double height;
return width * height * depth;
double depth;
}
// constructor used when all dimensions
}
Box(double w, double h, double d) {
width = w; class OverloadCons {
height = h; public static void main(String args[]) {
depth = d; Box mybox1 = new Box(10, 20, 15);
} Box mybox2 = new Box();
// constructor used when no dimensions Box mycube = new Box(7);
Box() { double vol;
width = -1; // use -1 to indicate vol = mybox1.volume();
height = -1; // an uninitialized System.out.println("Volume of mybox1 is " + vol);
depth = -1; // box vol = mybox2.volume();
} System.out.println("Volume of mybox2 is " + vol);
// constructor used when cube is created vol = mycube.volume();
Box(double len) { System.out.println("Volume of mycube is " + vol);
width = height = depth = len; }
} }

Object as Parameters
// Objects may be passed to methods. class PassOb {
class Test { public static void main(String args[]) {
int a, b;
Test(int i, int j) { Test ob1 = new Test(100, 22);
a = i; Test ob2 = new Test(100, 22);
b = j; Test ob3 = new Test(-1, -1);
}
// return true if o is equal to the invoking System.out.println("ob1 == ob2: " +
object ob1.equals(ob2));
boolean equals(Test o) {
if(o.a == a && o.b == b) return true; System.out.println("ob1 == ob3: " +
else return false; ob1.equals(ob3));
}
} }
}

Returning Object
// Returning an object. class RetOb {
class Test { public static void main(String args[]) {
int a; Test ob1 = new Test(2);
Test(int i) { Test ob2;
a = i; ob2 = ob1.incrByTen();
} System.out.println("ob1.a: " + ob1.a);
Test incrByTen() { System.out.println("ob2.a: " + ob2.a);
Test temp = new Test(a+10); ob2 = ob2.incrByTen();
return temp; System.out.println("ob2.a after second increase: “ + ob2.a);
} }
} }
Since all objects are dynamically allocated using new, you don’t need to worry about an
object going out-of-scope because the method in which it was created terminates.

The object will continue to exist as long as there is a reference to it somewhere in your
program.

When there are no references to it, the object will be reclaimed the next time garbage
collection takes place

Call by Value ,Call by Reference
// Objects are passed by reference.
// Primitive types are passed by value. class Test {
class Test { int a, b;
void meth(int i, int j) { Test(int i, int j) {
i *= 2; a = i;
j /= 2; b = j;
} }
} void meth(Test o) {
class CallByValue { o.a *= 2;
public static void main(String args[]) { o.b /= 2;
Test ob = new Test(); }
int a = 15, b = 20; }
System.out.println("a and b before call: " + class CallByRef {
a + " " + b); public static void main(String args[]) {
ob.meth(a, b); Test ob = new Test(15, 20);
System.out.println("a and b after call: " + System.out.println("ob.a and ob.b before call: " +
a + " " + b); ob.a + " " + ob.b);
} ob.meth(ob);
} System.out.println("ob.a and ob.b after call: " +
ob.a + " " + ob.b);
}
