In C++, what feature allows using the same name for different functions?

  1. Macros

  2. Function overloading

  3. Templates

  4. Preprocessor

The correct answer is: Function overloading

Function overloading in C++ allows the use of the same name for different functions. This is useful for creating multiple functions that perform similar tasks but with different parameter types or numbers. A is incorrect because macros are used for creating identifiers that can be replaced with a sequence of code. C is incorrect because templates are used for creating generic functions that can work with different data types. D is incorrect because the preprocessor is a tool that modifies the source code before it is compiled.
