Answer 1

Method Overloading

Question 2

Answer 4

method overloading

Question 5

Advantages of Method Overloading:

Answer 5

1. Method overloading improves the Readability and reusability of the program.
2. Method overloading reduces the complexity of the program.
3. Using method overloading, programmers can perform a task efficiently and effectively.
4. Using method overloading, it is possible to access methods performing related functions with slightly
   different arguments and types.
5. Objects of a class can also be initialized in different ways using the constructors.

Answer 7

Method Scope

Question 8

Answer 8

Recursion

Question 9

This technique provides a way to break complicated problems down into simple problems which are easier to solve.

Answer 9

Recursion
