Overloaded subprograms

OVERLOADED SUB-PROGRAMS

Subprogram means nothing but a function or procedure in a programming language.

An overloaded subprogram is a subprogram that has the same name as another subprogram in the same referencing environment.

A subprogram must be different from the others in the number, order, or types of its parameters, and possibly in its return type if it is a function.

The meaning of a call to an overloaded subprogram is determined by the actual parameter list (and/or possibly the type of the returned value, in the case of a function).

Overloaded subprograms have same name but not necessry have same process.

For example overloaded subprogram in C++:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void show (int a) 

{

    cout << a ;

}

void show (int a, int b) 

{

    cout << a << b;

}

int main() 

{

    int a = 10;

    int b = 20;

    show(a);

    show(a, b);

    return 0;

}
