Chapter 6.3, Problem 6.4CP
Program Plan Intro
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.

What is method overloading? Is it permissible to define two methods that have the same name but different parameter types? Is it permissible to define two methods in a class that have identical method names and parameter lists, but different return value types or different modifiers?
Can we call a non-static method from inside a static method?
Can we have any other return type than void for main method?
