Overloading and type conversion

I have a method CALL which passes a character as an argument, and the class defines two methods of same name one with argument of type character and another of type int. Which method will be called at runtime, the one with int or the one with character??

The one with char.

Ya Akhil,

I thought your example was a hoot, Ost. Ken,
but I fear that many here will not see your
slight-of-hand and misunderstand things.

We all agree that if you write the second
test() method to take a parameter of type
char instead of Character that the result
will not be "int", right?

Hi,
if Character change to char result will not be "int".
