Why java not support operator overloading?

Maybe because Sun said so. We have to bear with so many other idiosyncrasies too. But I guess that comes with every language. There were two major reasons why operator overloading wasn't allowed in Java: "cleanliness" and compiler complexity. The main reason was the first, a personal preference choice made by Java's creator, James Gosling. Operator overloading, while useful, can be exceedingly confusing, much more so than method overloading. Given the human tendency to assign specific meanings to single symbols, it is hard to get programmers to wrap their heads around multiple meanings for operators. What this means is that there is a marked increase in programming errors when a language supports operator overloading. Since practically the same benefit can be obtained via methods, the Java designers decided that the increased programmer mistake rate was not worth supporting operator overloading. From a Java compiler (e.g. javac) design standpoint, supporting operator overloading is considerably more difficult than method overloading, requiring a more complex compiler.

What is function overloading in java?

Any function or method in Java that is coded by the programmer is called a user defined method in Java. The JAVA API (Application Programming Interface) has a set of predefined classes & methods that are for our usage. Whatever methods we create apart from these are termed as user defined methods. In java we not use the term functions. We call them "Methods"


Rules for function overloading?

It's a way by which you use define the same function for different input types. For example, think about the the operator "+" which in java works for adding integers, floating point numbers and even string concatenation. The way such functionality is achieved is by overloading.
