Overloading method question

[Shanel Jacob]

public void methodOverload (int var1, int var2, float var3)
{
m1 = var1; m2 = var2; m3 = var3;
}

** Choose ONE only. Which one overload methodOverload()?

public void methodOverload (int var1, float var3, int var2)
{
methodOverload(var1, var2, var3);
}
 
public void methodOverload (int var1, float var3, int var2)
{
this(var1, var2, var3);
}

Both methods are legal overloads of method in the task.

But the first method produces recurcive call of itself. So it leads to stack overflow error.

That's why I think, it is better to take the second method

Dear Ivan Rebrov,
Well I must clear you here, as you said that

first method produces recurcive call of itself. So it leads to stack overflow error.

Why do you think so, that first method produces recursive call to itself.

I am not looking any reason for that.

But yes both of them cann't be in same Class, because that might create a confusion for compiler to decide to call which method.

I hope I make it clear.

Thank you, I was absolutely wrong. I didn't mention the change of order of arguments in inner method call.

So, the answer is "the first method"!

The second method's declaration is legal, but there is strange this() call, which is legal only in costructurs.
