Subject: How does overload work in ruby?

Hello guys

I was trying to overload one method but it does not work like Java.
I noticed it only uses the first method that it meets.

is there any special way for overloading in ruby.

class Overloading

 def sum(a, b)
  return a + b
 end

 def sum(a, b, c)
  return a + b + c
 end
end

obj = Overloading.new
puts obj.sum(5, 7)
puts obj.sum(5, 6, 7)

the output
overloading.rb:13:in `sum': wrong number of arguments (2 for 3)
(ArgumentError)
        from overloading.rb:13

any idea?

Regards
Shuaib
