Casting during method invocation

[Uvnik Gupta]

Can anyone explain the output of the following code :
[pre]public class AQuestion
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
AQuestion question = new AQuestion();
question.method(null);
question.func(12, 2);
question.func(12, 2.2);
}
public void method(Object o)
{
System.out.println("Object Verion");
}
public void method(String s)
{
System.out.println("String Version");
}
public void func(int i, int j)
{
System.out.println("Int Version");
}
public void func(int i, long j)
{
System.out.println("Long Version");
}
public void func(int i, double j)
{
System.out.println("Double Long Version");
}
public void func(long i, double j)
{
System.out.println("Double Int Version");
}
}[/pre]
The O/P is :
String Version
Int Version
Double Long version
According to my understanding the O/P should have been :
Object Version
Long Version
Double Long Version.
Thanx
Uvnik

uvnik:
Note that overloading is resolved by choosing the method having the most specific parameter types that can take the actual arguments.
In your case null can be assigned to both String and Object, but String is more specific than Object. So the method with the String parameter is chosen.
Likewise, for the other methods. 12 and 2 are integers. 2.2 is double.

Thanx Thomas. I just figured out one more problem with my code. I had the messages for "Double Long version" ans "Double Int Version" written wrongly which added to my confusion.
