Dear Dario,
I think
Dear Dario,
I think differently, I think my examples show the resemblance between
the way of "dispatching" for S4 generic and that for C++ overloaded
function.
Both are dispatched ONLY through the type of arguments.
Again following your original example:
int larger(int x, int y);
char larger(char
Good day,
Your conclusion seems to be different to the details you discussed. Don't you
intend to conclude that it's not possible with an S4 generic to define methods
with different argument names which is different to a language such as C++?

Good day,
Some programming languages, such as C++, allow function overloading. Is it
possible to mimic it when creating S4 methods?
An example from an undergraduate text book is:
int largerInt(int x, int y);
char largerChar(char first, char second);
You can write the previous function prototyp
