When a method in a class (in this case the constructor) expects certain
types of arguments, overloading refers to the ability to pass in alternate
types to the method and have the mthod act upon those typed arguments.

Simplified...

calcTotal(int x, int y);
calcTotal(float x, float y);

One version expects integer arguments, the other floats.

Okay, pretty much what I figured.

Thanks for the confirmation,
