What would be the result and why ?

class D {
static String m(float i) {return "float";}
static String m(double i) {return "double";}

public static void main (String[] args) {
int a1 = 1;
long b1 = 2;
System.out.print(m(a1)+","+ m(b1));

}}
Thanks

Recommend you to install the JDK on your machine.

and why



A float can comfortably accomodate a long (and of course an int) within its range.

From the JLS:

The following 19 specific conversions on primitive types are called the widening primitive conversions:
� byte to short, int, long, float, or double
� short to int, long, float, or double
� char to int, long, float, or double
int to long, float, or double
long to float or double
� float to double

And where did the question come from? Please always quote the source of the mock exam. If not then we will lock the topic until you do.

m(float) is more specific that m(double) for calls using int and long.
