Solution

The correct statements about method overloading are:

  1. You can have two methods with the same name with a different number and type of input parameters. This is the basic concept of method overloading. The methods must have the same name but different parameter lists.

  2. You cannot have two methods with the same name and the same number and type of input parameters. If two methods have the same name, same number and type of input parameters, the compiler will not be able to distinguish between them, which will result in a compile-time error.

The other two statements are incorrect. In Java, method overloading is not determined by the return type of the methods. Therefore, having two methods with the same name and the same number and type of input parameters but with different return types is not valid. Also, you can definitely have two methods with the same name as long as their parameter lists are different.

Which of the following statements are true? Please select all that apply.Group of answer choicesTo override a method, the method must be defined in the subclass using the same signature and compatible return type as in its superclass.Overloading a method is to provide more than one method with the same name but with different signatures to distinguish them.It is a compile error if two methods differ only in return type in the same class.A private method cannot be overridden. If a method defined in a subclass is private in its superclass, the two methods are completely unrelated.A static method cannot be overridden. If a static method defined in the superclass is redefined in a subclass, the method defined in the superclass is hidden.
