It is generaly useful to think of overloaded methods as different methods altogether and then try to deduce the answer. For eg.
Technically, for the compiler and JVM, void m1(){} and void m1(int i){} are as different (or same!) as
void a(){} and void b() {}.
The reason is, it is the method signature that the compile/jvm looks for. And method signature includes method name and parameter list.
HTH,
Paul.

Overloading are very old concept
There are many many words in English and other languages
that are overloaded
So OO concepts wont apply for overloading
As long you have different signatures that signifies that you are
overloading you should be ok
