In object-oriented programming (OOP), programmers can create virtual copies of objects from schematics called classes. Classes contain variables of data and methods that can perform tasks with the object or other objects. For a real-world example, a class called "cook" might have variables containing various cooking times and methods for chopping vegetables. Methods can accept data input and provide data output. When a method is programmed to accept different types of data for different occasions, this is called "overloading" a method.
Overloading provides an easy way for methods to keep the same name but allow for different inputs. At compiling time, the application evaluates the input data and chooses which overloaded method to use. By overloading methods, a programmer can also keep a single name for a method despite type differences, which cleans up the code.
How to Overload a Method
Overloading a method in visual basic requires the addition of the keyword "Overloads" into the method definition. The keyword is placed in between the visibility call (i.e. public or private) and the function call (e.g. Public Overloads Function). Each different function definition must have the same name and a different number or type of input variable.

Define method overloading and write two method headers that together exhibit overloading?
Method overloading is when two or more methods have the same name, but the computer can differentiate between the methods by looking at the parameters. Example: public static void go(int x) public static void go(double x) If you pass an int, the first method would be called. If you pass a double, the second method would be called
What is method overloading and constructor overloading explain with?
method overriding :method overriding means redefine methods in sub classes they already defined in the Super classes.method overloading : It means methods with the same name but with a different signature exist in one class
