Overloaded functions just means functions with the same name but different parameters (arity and types).

Start here:

Functions (I) and Functions (II) will help you with this question but as you have also asked about arrays, start at the beginning.

[Peter87]

Parameters are the input that the function receives.

Example:

int max(int, int);

Here is a function named max with 2 int parameters.

double max(double, double);

Here is another function with the same name but different parameter types.

int max(int, int, int);

Here is a third function with the same name but with different number of parameters.

These three are overloaded functions.
