Überladung
Überladung, meaning "overload" in German, is a programming concept that allows multiple functions or methods with the same name but different parameters (types or number of arguments) to exist within the same scope. This enables developers to call a function using different sets of data without needing to create unique names for each variation. For instance, a function named `print` could be overloaded to handle integer, string, or array inputs, with each version performing a slightly different printing action based on the data type it receives.
The primary benefit of Überladung is enhanced code readability and maintainability. Instead of remembering distinct names
However, overuse of Überladung can sometimes lead to confusion if the overloaded functions have significantly different
