the condition for overriding is the signature of the 2 methods must be exactly same. So it is definitely not an override.
for overload, the methods must differ in their arguments. the 2 methods are differing in their arguments(though in a sill way of swapping their places) (String s,int i) is definitely not the same as (int i , String s)
