Method:

A collection of statements which are formed together to perform an operation is called as method.

Syntax for creating a method:

modifier return_type methodName(list of parameters)

{

    //body

}

Example:

public int findArea(int x, int y)

{

    //body

}

Overloaded method:

In java, two or more methods can have same name but they should differ in the number of parameters or types of arguments. This type of methods is called as overloaded methods and the features are termed as method overloading.
