Question

Overloading of methods even depends on return type.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is False.

Explanation:

1. In Java, method overloading is independent of return type.
2. Overloaded methods are those that have the following:
   1. It has the same name, but
   2. Different parameter lists (quantity, kind, and order of parameters).
3. The return type alone cannot distinguish between overloaded methods since the compiler utilizes the method signature (name + parameter list) to determine which method to invoke.
