Subject: Re: Why Ruby Does Not Support Method Overloading?

There may be only one method with given name in Ruby class. If several
methods with the same name defined in the class - the latest overwrites
previous definitions.

However, you may emulate methods overloading like this:

class Person

  def print_details(*args)
    case args.size
    when 1
      "Hey My Name is #{args[0]}"
    when 2
      "Hey My Name is #{args[0]} and #{args[1]}"
    end
  end

end

I think you got the idea.
