1. a. Why does the compilation of the following overloaded functions result in a compiler error?int area(float);float area (float); b. Write two (2) overloaded functions that find the least (smallest) of two integers (first function) and two characters (second function). These should be value returning functions that return the least value of the type(s) specified. Write the functions only. This includes the function headers (prototypes not needed) and the function bodies. You do not need to write the function calls or any include or using statements.

Function overloading :
- Overloading of a function is defined as having the same name of the function with different arguments list of different data types in order of the parameters.
- For example, sum(int a, int b); and sum(float a, float b) are overloaded functions since the type of parameter list is different.
1. a)
The given two functions are int area(float);float area (float); . The type of the two parameters is the same and they only have a different return type. So, there will be a compilation error since the function overload cannot be identified (or) distinguished by the return type. It is only applicable for the type of arguments, count of the arguments, and sequence of the arguments passed to the function.
