If you really want to get technical (ie a proper OO language) then it's
not necessarily if the function has a different number of arguments.
Ie in Java you can say
public void myFunction(String s) {
// do something
}
public void myFunction(Object o) {
// do something else
}
public void myFunction() {
// do something else again
}
public void myFunction(String s, Object o) {
// do something else again
}
Basically the function is different because of the arguments, not the
amount, but the type.
HTH (although probably more than you needed!)
