Question

Write overloaded Java methods that return the difference of two parameters. Your methods should contain the logic to return the difference of the larger parameter – smaller parameter, regardless of parameter order. Provide enough test code to ensure your methods are logically correct. The following table displays the required method parameter variations. Each row indicates the return type, parameter 1 and parameter 2 for a separate method call using the pattern <return type> method_name(parm 1 type, parm 2 type);

Explanation / Answer

public static int difference(int num1, int num2)
{
return (int)Math.abs(num1 - num2);
}
public static double difference(double num1, double num2)
{
return (double)Math.abs(num1 - num2);
}
public static long difference(long num1, long num2)
{
return (long)Math.abs(num1 - num2);
}

...etc.

You can do the above overloading for any type you wish.
