Complete Modern C++ - Function Overloading

The video tutorial explains function overloading in C, highlighting its necessity for simplifying code by allowing multiple functions with the same name but different arguments. It covers the implementation steps, rules, and conditions for function overloading, emphasizing static polymorphism. The tutorial also delves into name mangling, a process that ensures unique function identification, and the use of the extern C directive to suppress name mangling, enabling function calls from C or other languages. Practical examples and compiler behavior are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding.
