Duplicate Method Compiler Error

[abin joy]

code
---------------------------------

class Test
{
public static void render(Shape s, Circle c)
{
System.out.println("render(Shape s, Circle c)");
}

public static void render(Circle c, Shape s)
{
System.out.println("render(Circle c, Shape s)");
}
}

----------------------------------
code

I expect this code to throw a duplicate method found compilation error?But its not throwing?I removed the arguments to both the functions and it immediatrely throws compiler error.Can anybody help me in this

... because the methods have different argument lists? The order in which the arguments appear matters (of course).

This is an example of function overloading.
