Method Names in Java - Java Language Tutorial

Do you need help with your Java programming?

Click here for instant help with your Java code.

A method name in Java is like any variable - an identifier. Since an identifier in Java may consist of any Unicode character, so can the method name. A method name cannot start with a number.
Different methods can have the same name as other methods in the same class if they differ in terms of arguments sent to that method. Such a method is called an ‘overloaded’ method. If a method has the exact signature as a method in the class it is derived from, the method ‘overrides’ the method in the super class (see more about object oriented programming further ahead in this tutorial).
