title: Is it possible multiple methods with the same name but different parameters in a class?
body: <p>I've coded in C before, but I'm completely new to java
  I'm doing a tutorial for my OOP class, and this is pretty much my first time officially learning the language</p>
  
  <p>In the tutorial, my professor made a class that will be used to test an I/O helper class that I have to make myself <em>(and btw, the tutorial is (a) optional and (b) not for marks, so I'm not cheating or anything by making this thread... and (c) I've never used java before whereas a lot of my other classmates have, so I'm behind).</em></p>
  
  <p>ANYWAY. In his testing class that he made, he calls a method "getInt" that I need to put into my I/O helper class. </p>
  
  <p>However when he calls the getInt method, he sometimes uses 3 parameters, sometimes 2, sometimes none, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I know in C I wouldn't be able to do that (right?), but is it possible to do in Java? And if so, how? </p>
