For example, we may implement an `add(a, b)` method for adding two numbers, and another method `add(a,b,c)` for adding three numbers (see example below). When using these methods in code, the method signature determines which method is invoked at compile time. ```python class MathOperations: def add(self, a: int, b: int): return a + b def add(self, a: int, b: int, c: int): # Overloaded method return a + b + c ``` --- # References
