if a write a function
def add(a,b):
return a+b
here, add will different results for add(1,2) and add(‘A’,‘B’),
also how the len function in python returns the length of list or string,
aren’t this examples of overloading?
Overriding and overloading
Hey @shubhrs25_01611cd3f0e6aa02, first of all you must know that there is no concept of overloading in python. Firstly, in python the arguments of functions don’t have any type. Second is whenever you add two objects using the + operator, the first object’s __add__ method is called with the second object as argument. So in our case a+b will be equivalent to a.__add__(b) of class a. This is how + operator works by default in python. Similarly, len function of the class of the argument is called. Hence there is nothing like method/function overloading in python.
I hope this clears your doubt !
