Hi,
overloading basically means you modify a method so that it can accept different arguments.. (arguments are the variables inside the bracket)
for example:
you have a method:
public void doSomething(int a, int b){}
if you overload it so that the method can accept "double type" arguments, you might have something like this:
public void doSomething(double a, double b){}
