Cpp program to illustrate function overloading by adding two numbers

In this article we will learn to implement a Cpp program to illustrate function overloading by adding two numbers. A C++ program is provided below to demonstrate function overloading by adding different types of numbers.

Program is as follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int sum(int a, int b)
{
	return a+b;
}
float sum(float a, float b)
{
	return a+b;
}
int main()
{
	int a,b;
	cout<<"Enter two numbers: ";
	cin>>a>>b;
	cout<<"Sum of a and b is: "<<sum(a, b)<<endl;
	float c,d;
	cout<<"Enter two floating point values: ";
	cin>>c>>d;
	cout<<"Sum of c and d is: "<<sum(c, d)<<endl;
	return 0;
}

Input and output for the above program is as follows:

Enter two numbers: 3 4
Sum of a and b is: 7
Enter two floating point values: 2.4 6.1
Sum of c and d is: 8.5
