In C Sharp a class can have multiple methods with the same name.

For example there are 18 methods in the consul class all named right.

They all take different types and numbers of arguments.

This is useful because not all data that a method can handle comes in the same type.

The distance to method right now calculates the distance between a point

and the x and y values passed in.

We could also have a distance to method that calculates the distance between two

point objects.

This method can just call the other distance to method like this.

What we've just done is overloaded the distance to method.

To overload a method means to have two methods with the same name but

take different parameters.

Overloaded methods in the same class must return the same type.

As you can see, methods are the moving parts of an object.

It's where the code that does stuff lives.

Fields in a class are the substance of the object.

They're what make two objects of the same type unique.

They contain the object's data.

You may have also noticed that methods all use the fields in some way.

This is something you'll see throughout this course.

One of the purposes of objects is to combine data and

the methods that are closely tied to the data together in one elegant package.

Now that we've learned how to model an object using attributes and behaviors,

we can go on to learn some of the core principles of object oriented programming.

This is where it gets really interesting.
