Create a class to print the ‘area of a square and a rectangle’. The class has two methods with the same name but different number of parameters. The method for printing area of rectangle has two parameters which are length and breadth respectively while the other method for printing area of square has one parameter which is side of square.

Here is the code to implement the scenario described

Source Code..

package area;

 //@author Java_Programs

public class Area {

    float area;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Area a =new Area();

        a.printarea(6.7f, 8.3f);

        a.printarea(5f);

    }

    void printarea(float length , float breadth){

        area = length * breadth;

        System.out.println("Area of rectangle is: " +area);

    }

    void printarea(float side){

         area = side * side;

        System.out.println("Area of square is: "+area);

     }

}

 

 Code Explanation:

 

The above code is demonstrates the concept of method overloading. It defines a class named "Area" that contains two methods with the same name "printarea", but with different parameters. The purpose of the class is to calculate the area of a rectangle and a square based on the input parameters, and print the result to the console.

The class "Area" is defined with a float variable named "area". This variable will be used to store the calculated area.

The main method is the entry point of the program. In this method, an object of the class "Area" is created, and two methods named "printarea" are called with different parameters. The first method is called with two float values representing the length and breadth of a rectangle, and the second method is called with a single float value representing the side of a square.

The class contains two methods with the same name "printarea", but with different parameters. The first method takes two float parameters representing the length and breadth of a rectangle, and calculates the area by multiplying them. The second method takes a single float parameter representing the side of a square, and calculates the area by squaring it. Both methods store the calculated area in the variable "area", and print the result to the console.

 

When the program is executed, it will print the calculated area of the rectangle and square to the console as follows:

Area of rectangle is: 55.61

Area of square is: 25.0

 

this Java program demonstrates how method overloading can be used to define multiple methods with the same name but with different parameters, allowing for more flexible and reusable code. The methods in the "Area" class use this concept to calculate the area of a rectangle and a square, and print the result to the console.
