C++ Program to demonstrate Function Name Overloading

This is a simple C++ Program to demonstrate Function Name Overloading. An example of function name overloading within a C++ class many_name is used in this program. The constructor is overloaded as well as one of the methods to illustrate what can be done in C++ programming language to achieve polymorphism.

#include <iostream>

class many_names {
int length;
int width;
public:
many_names(void); // Constructors
many_names(int len);
many_names(int len, int wid);
void display(void); // Display functions
void display(int one);
void display(int one, int two);
void display(float number);
};

many_names::many_names(void)
{
length = 8;
width = 8;
}

many_names::many_names(int len)
{
length = len;
width = 8;
}

many_names::many_names(int len, int wid)
{
length = len;
width = wid;
}

void many_names::display(void)
{
cout << "From void display function, area = " << length * width << "\n";
}

void many_names::display(int one)
{
cout << "From int display function, area = " << length * width << "\n";
}

void many_names::display(int one, int two)
{
cout << "From two int display function, area = " << length * width << "\n";
}

void many_names::display(float number)
{
cout << "From float display function, area = " << length * width << "\n";
}

main()
{
many_names small, medium(10), large(12, 15);
int gross = 144;
float pi = 3.1415, payroll = 12.50;

small.display();
small.display(100);
small.display(gross,100);
small.display(payroll);

medium.display();
large.display(pi);
}

// Result of execution
// From void display function, area = 64
// From int display function, area = 64
// From two int display function, area = 64
// From float display function, area = 64
// From void display function, area = 80
// From float display function, area = 180
