about function overloading

hi its rawinder dhillon
could you please tell me the strog points (advantages) of [B]function overloading.
and also tell me the same for operators NEW and DELETE

overloading allows objects to perform the same action differently depending on its environment.

[r035198x]

use new to create new objects. It calls the objects' constructor.
In c++ use delete to remove objects from memory in the object's destructor. Typically used for garbage collection.

oooh function overloading. This should work to explain.

public int Add(int int1, int int2)
{
return int1+int2;
}
public int Add(double dbl1, double dbl2)
{
return dbl1+dbl2;
}

this gets even better if you are returning general objects instead of Type-specific data. For example.

public object Add(int int1, int int2)
{
return (object)(int1+i nt2);
}
public object Add(string str1, string str2)
{
return (object)(str1+s tr2);
}

this means I can do this,

string myName = (string)Add("Jo hn","Smith");
int myAge = (int)Add(10,8);
string nameAndAge = (string)Add(myN ame,myAge.ToStr ing());


function overloading is cool, but in c# we can take overloading a little higher, operator overloading. Now we can overload =, or >, or <, operations performed on our class with our own comparison operations.
