As already stated, overloading in the sense that you mean isn't supported by C. A common idiom to solve the problem is making the function accept a tagged union.This is implemented by a struct parameter, where the struct itself consists of some sort of type indicator, such as an enum, and a union of the different types of values. Example:

BetaFunction overloading is a feature of a programming language that allows one to have many functions with same name but with different signatures. This feature is present in most of the Object Oriented Languages such as C++ and Java. But C doesn't support this feature not because of OOP, but rather because the compiler doesn't support it (except ...

BetaC++ function overloading allows you to define multiple functions with the same name but different parameters. It is a form of compile time polymorphism in which a function can perform different jobs based on the different parameters passed to it. It is a feature of object-oriented programming that increases the readability of the program. ...

BetaFunction overloading is a ubiquitous technique in modern object-oriented languages like C++ and Java that allows defining multiple functions with the same name but different parameters. However, overloading is not natively supported in C due to its origins as a procedural language. This sometimes forces C developers to use ungainly function names like print_int() and […]

BetaAs we know, C is not an Object Oriented programming language. Therefore, C does not support function overloading. However, we do have an alternative if at all we want to implement function overloading in C. We can use the functionality of Function Overloading in C using the _Generic keyword. _Generic keyword: We will understand how to use this ...
