Explanation of Solution

Methods:

  • The methods could be used to break a complex program into small pieces.
  • The “void” method simply executes a statements group and then terminates.
  • A value returning method would return a value to statement that has called it.
  • While calling a method, program would branch to that method.
  •  It would then execute statements in its body.
  • The values that are sent into a method are termed as “arguments”.
  • A “parameter” denotes a special variable that holds a value that is being passed into a method.
  • The “passed by value” means that only copy of a value of argument is been passed into parameter variable.
  • A “local variable” is been declared inside a method, it is not accessible to statements outside method...

Method Overloading is a feature that allows a class to have two or more methods having same name, if their argument lists are different. Argument lists could differ in: 1. Number of parameters. 2. Data type of parameters. 3. Sequence of Data type of parameters. Write different version of method sum() that display the sum of the values received as parameter according to the following main method content: public static void main(String[] args) { sum ( 10, 10 ); sum ( 10, 10, 10 ); sum ( 10.0, 10.0 ); sum ( 10, 10.0 ); sum ( 10.0, 10); } You have to define five functions with the specified types. Then, demonstrate the Argument Promotion concept by reducing the number of method to two.
Method overloading: given the following methods, write down the printed output of the method calls.
