Calculate area in C++ | Function overload

WAP to calculate area of circle(radius), rectangle(l,b), triangle(a,b,c) using function overloading c++.

Function overloading in C++ is a feature in c++ where two or more functions can have the same name but different parameters.

When a function name is overloaded with different jobs then it is called function overloading.

The overloaded function may or may not have a different data type but they must have different arguments.
