JavaScript Program to Perform Function Overloading

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following JavaScript programming topics:


In programming, function overloading refers to the concept where multiple functions with the same names can have different implementations. However, in JavaScript, if there are multiple functions with the same name, the function that is defined at the last gets executed.

The function overloading feature can be implemented in some other ways.


Example 1: Using if/else-if Statement

Output

You have not passed any argument
Pass at least two arguments
14
45

In the above program, the overloading feature is accomplished by using the if/else...if statement.

  • In JavaScript, the arguments object is automatically available inside a function that represents the passed arguments to a function.
  • The multiple conditions are addressed to perform actions based on that particular condition.

Example 2: Using switch Statement

Output

You have not passed any argument
Pass at least two arguments
14
45

In the above program, the switch statement is used to accomplish the function overloading functionality. Different conditions result in different actions to be performed.
