Overloading with Varargs

[sr shashidhar]

Hi frndz

class A
{
static void m1(int...x)
{System.out.println("INTEGER");}
static void m1(byte...y)
{System.out.println("BYTE");}
}

class B
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
byte b1=3;
byte b2=7;
A.m1(b1,b2);
}}

While compiling getting exception as

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method m1(int[]) is ambiguous for the type A

my doubt is according to overloading concept Output must be "BYTE", but why Compilation error..

Thanks in advance

Which compiler are you using? If I compile that code with Java 7u11 I get no errors at all, and it also runs just fine, printing BYTE.

Erm...you do understand that J2SE 5.0 entered its end-of-life on April 8, 2008 and hasn't been supported by Sun/Oracle since November 3, 2009?

That's quite apart from any questions about why you're overloading methods with ellipses...
