Answer 1

Method signature is the set of attributes of a method that a compiler can use to identify the method.

The attrbutes are: Method name, number of parameters, parameter type and order of parameters.

Example of diferent method signatures:

Foo()
Foo(int)
Foo(String)
Foo(int, string)
Foo(string, int)

All of these methos are diferent, and when you call them in code the compiler can infer which method are you intent to execute using the method signature.

Don't forget the scope of the methods in modular programming...
