Holy Crap My Memory is bad!

What is it called when you have two functions whose declarations are almost alike except that they deal with different objects?

Like you could have

Public Function1 (Dim obj as Object)
Public Function1 (Dim str as String)


what do you have to put before the second function1???


thanx,

You shouldn't have to put anything. Its called Overloading.

Well heck.. I just tried it and I don't need anything... What in the world am I thinking of?

LOL.. thanks man... i didn't refresh my browser before posting... heh.. guess I should have done that..

Yeah, overloading... It's been forever since i've taken C++


Thanks again,

If I remember my C++ days (And I am not guaranteeing that I do :D) but if you want to overload correctly you need to change the quantity of options not the type..

like this:

VB Code:

Public Function1 (obj as Object)
Public Function1 (obj as Object, str as String)

Plus I don't think the Dim is a good thing to do.. But in .NET it could all be different rules...

yeah, i didn't copy that code... ordinarily, it woudl be a ByVal or ByRef if I remember correctly...


thanks guys,
