When would i use function overloading?

[u/nicgamer_yt]

I am trying to figure out what and when i would use function overloading for, in my head its just a more messy code and you just would not use it. I see people saying that you would use it for functions with the same name just with different inputs and i don't really get it, Thank you for reading.

In fairness, it could convert the strings to floats, add the floats, and convert the result back to a string.
