Java Program to Find Area of Square Using Method Overloading

A square is a simple flat shape in a plane, defined by four points at the four corners. It has four sides with equal length and four corners with right angles.

Method Overloading: Method overloading allows different methods to have the same name, but different signatures where the signature can differ by the number of input parameters or type of input parameters, or both. 

In this article, we will learn how to find the area of the square using the method overloading.

Area of the Square

The area of the square is the square of its sides. We can simply calculate the area of the square using the following formula:

Formula:

Area of the Square: A = a²

Here, a is the side of the square.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Example 1:

Showing the method overloading of Area() function which has different parameters of  square sides of different data-type( float , int , double) 

Java

// Java program to find the area of
// the square using Method Overloading
// of parameters with different datatype
// of sides

import java.io.*;

class Square {

    // Overloaded Area() function to
    // calculate the area of the square
    // It takes one double parameter
    void Area(double side)
    {
        System.out.println("Area of the Square: "
                           + side * side);
    }

    // Overloaded Area() function to
    // calculate the area of the square
    // It takes one float parameter
    void Area(float side)
    {
        System.out.println("Area of the Square: "
                           + side * side);
    }
}

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating object of square class
        Square obj = new Square();

        // Calling function
        obj.Area(10);
        obj.Area(3.2);
    }
}

Output

Area of the Square: 100.0
Area of the Square: 10.240000000000002

Example 2:

Showing method overloading of Area() function which returns the area of different figures like( square, circle, rectangle)

Java

// Java program to find the area of
// the multiple shapes
// using Method Overloading

import java.io.*;

class Shape {

    static final double PI = Math.PI;

    // Overloaded Area() function to
    // calculate the area of the square
    // It takes one float parameter
    void Area(float a)
    {
        float A = a * a;
        System.out.println("Area of the Square: " + A);
    }

    // Overloaded Area() function to
    // calculate the area of the circle
    // It takes one double parameter
    void Area(double a)
    {
        double A = PI * a * a;
        System.out.println("Area of the Circle: " + A);
    }

    // Overloaded Area() function to
    // calculate the area of the rectangle
    // It takes two int parameters
    void Area(int a, int b)
    {
        int A = a * b;
        System.out.println("Area of the Rectangle: " + A);
    }
}

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating object of Shape class
        Shape obj = new Shape();

        // Calling function
        obj.Area(10.5);
        obj.Area(3);
        obj.Area(5, 4);
    }
}

Output

Area of the Circle: 346.36059005827474
Area of the Square: 9.0
Area of the Rectangle: 20

Time complexity: O(1) because it is doing constant operations

Auxiliary space: O(1)
