Default arguments are often considered to be optional arguments, however a default argument is only optional in the sense that the caller need not provide a value for it. The function must still instantiate the argument and must assign the appropriate value to it so, insofar as the function is concerned, the argument is not optional.
To implement a function with a truly optional argument, we can define two overloads of that function, one that accepts the optional argument (without specifying a default value) and one that does not accept the argument. In this way we can define two different implementations, one that uses the argument and one that does not.
void f (); // implementation that does not use the argument
void f (int); // implementation that does use the argument
In many cases, a default argument incurs no significant overhead over that of overloading. Thus we'd only use overloading to implement an optional argument where there is a significant overhead incurred by a default argument. Even so, we must also be aware that by eliminating the overhead within the function itself we may simply be passing that overhead back to the callers, because some or all of them would then have to decide which overload to call, resulting in code duplication that would likely be best handled by the function itself.

What is function overloading in c language of computer?
There is no such thing as function overloading in C; that is a feature of C++. Function overloading allows us to provide two or more implementations of the same function. Typically, we use function overloading so that the same function can cater for different types. For instance, we might provide one implementation that is optimised to handle an integer argument while another is optimised to handle a real argument. We can also use function overloading to provide a common implementation of a function which can then be invoked by overloads that handle the low-level type conversions.
Operator overloading is possible in java or not?
Java does not support opperator overloading, so the answer to your question is: none.
In science to prevent overloading in a parallel circuit you could install a what?

What is the use of overloading in java?
method overloading is the primary way polymorphism is implemented in JavaOverloading methodsoverloaded methods: appear in the same class or a subclasshave the same name but,have different parameter lists, and,can have different return types
Why use new and delete operator overloading in c plus plus?
one reason to use new and delete operator overloading in c++ is when you are using your own memory manager code. when the user of your code calls the new keywork, your memory manager code can allocate memory.
Why you use constructor overloading?
When we are initializing our object with different internal state then we can use the constructor overloading.

To prevent overloading in case of an electrical fault in the equipment.
How the compiler compiles overloaded method?
method overloading occurs when we use two functions or more with the same name.In function overloading compiler detect which method is call actually throw the parameters passed to the methods.In function overloading parameters of functions are different.

Is it possible to do operator overloading in c?
No. Operator and/or function overloading is only a C++ thing.
What can cause a circuit breaker to trip and how can it be prevented?
A circuit breaker can trip due to overloading, short circuits, or ground faults. To prevent tripping, avoid overloading circuits, regularly check for faulty wiring, and use surge protectors.
