Overloading is ability of one function to perform different tasks, i.e,it allows creating several methods with the same name which differ from each other in the type of the input and the output of the function.
Overloading can be used with functions and members.

Example

int volume(int s),
double volume(double r,int h),
long volume(long l,int b,int h)

Depending on the parameter passed the corresponding function will be called.

overloading is when you define two or more functions with same name and different signatures i.e number of parameters or type of parameters. overloading is resolved at compile time. it is a static or compile time binding.

Overloading means assigning different meaning to an operator,depending on the context.c++ permits overloading of operator thus allowing us to assign multiple meaning to an operator.

Having same method name with different SIGNATURES. Overloading is the concept of Compile time Polymorphism. It does not need inheritance. Method can have different data types. Two function having same name and return type, but with different type and/or number of arguments is called as overloading.

It refers to defining different forms of a method usually by receiving different parameter number or types. It can be seen as static polymorphism. The decision to call an implementation or another is taken at coding time. Notice in this case the signature of the method must change.
