What feature allows C++ programmers to use the same function name for different functions as long as the argument lists are different?

  1. Inheritance

  2. Function overloading

  3. Templates

  4. Encapsulation

The correct answer is: Function overloading

Function overloading is a feature in C++ that allows programmers to use the same function name for different functions as long as the argument lists are different. This is different from inheritance (A) and templates (C), as both of these features relate to code reuse and have different purposes. Encapsulation (D) is also not the correct answer, as this feature focuses on hiding the implementation details of an object. Therefore, function overloading is the most suitable answer for this question.
