Distinct parameter data types with the same name

Example

float sum(int a, int b);
float sum(float a, float b);

The same name, but with various parameters

Example

float sum(int a, int b);
float sum(int a, int b, int c);

Similar name, different parameter order.

Example

float sum(int a, float b);
float sum(float a, int b);

When looking for a function that has the same set of parameters, exact matches are always preferable.
