Please provide a code example, with user-defined functions.

View this as pseudo-java, since we certainly don't need the hoo-haa of
compilation adherence here.
somewhere....
public void print(int a) {...........}
public void print(String s) {.......}
elsewhere....
int i = 3;
String s = "hello";
print(i);
print(s);
As explained by Cardelli and Wegner in
http://research.microsoft.com/Users/luca/Papers/OnUnderstanding.A4.pdf
"There are also two major kinds of ad-hoc
polymorphism. In overloading the same variable
name is used to denote different functions, and
the context is used to decide which function is
denoted by a particular instance of the name."
