Answer 2

You cannot explicitly overload an operator in Java but by default the + symbol is overloaded. You can use it to add numeric values as well as concatenate strings.

Answer 3

Java supports method overloading. Several methods in a class (or extension), can use the same method name with different parameters and same result type.

Answer 4

Java does not support operator overloading because Sun deliberately omitted it, citing simplicity as the reason for omission.

Answer 5

Operator overloading was a feature of C++ that the Java language designers thought was too complicated and not useful enough to include.
