Overloading (JavaScript and Delphi Prism Cross Reference Guide)

Types of overloading include method overloading and operator overloading.

Method Overloading is where different functions with the same name are invoked based on the data types of the parameters passed or the number of parameters. Method overloading is a type of polymorphism and is also known as Parametric Polymorphism.

Operater Overloading allows an operator to behave differently based on the types of values used. For example, in some languages the + operator is used both to add numbers and to concatenate strings. Custom operator overloading is sometimes referred to as ad-hoc polymorphism.

JavaScript:  JavaScript Overloading Operator - No. Method - Syntax Example:    JavaScript Overloading	Delphi Prism:   implicit Like Delphi, Prism supports overloading. However, Prism supports implicit overloading (no need for an overload keyword). Syntax Example: method MainForm.Add(a, b: integer): Integer; begin Result := a + b; end; method MainForm.Add(const msg: String; a, b: integer): String; begin Result := msg + (a + b); end;  Delphi Prism Overloading (implicit)
