Overloading

[Tanuja Vaid]

Please have a look at this code....
public class Hay {
public int setvar(int a,int b,float c){
}
public int setvar(int a,float b,int c){
return setvar(a,c,b);
}
}
The second method is said to correctly overload the first method. As second method is returning the same parameters as the first method it didn't look convincing,hence I COMPILED IT.It gives a compiler error saying "missing return statement".
Now what am I missing....
TIA

If I am not mistaken, you need a return statement in the original method that was overloaded for compilation to succeed as it is defined to return an int.
Please refer to the modified code:

public class Hay {
  public int setvar(int a,int b,float c)
  {
      return 0;
   }
   public int setvar(int a,float b,int c){
       return setvar(a,c,b);
   }
}
