Function over-loading in Java - part 1

Let us suppose we wish to create a function myFunc() that can take in three integers as arguments - int x, int y, int z and returns (x*y)+z. It is fairly easy to write such a function. But what if later on we wish to give the same sort of functionality for three arguments of type - double, lets say - double a, double b, double c. Can this be achieved without creating a function with a new name?

Lets have a look at the code given below -

Note that the compiler automatically detects which *version* of the method to use when you call myFunc() depending upon the type of arguments.
