Method overloading parameter as float, double and wrapper.

Question?  What is the output of below code ?

 Other question 

will it be compile ?

will there be an error at runtime for ambiguity?
   

public class RedHatQuestion
{
  public void printData(float f)
  {
    System.out.println("inside float");
  }
  
  public void printData(double d)
  {
    System.out.println("inside double ");
  }
  
  public void printData(Double d)
  {
    System.out.println("Inside object double");
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    RedHatQuestion question = new RedHatQuestion();
    question.printData(3.1415);
  }
}

It will compile as there is no syntax error.
Also there is no runtime exception as there no runtime binding created. 
See we have only compile time binding/overloading not overriding.

Answer : inside double.

Explanation : in java for floating value we have default data type as double. Every float value is double unless specified.

You might have encounter compilation error for below statement.

float PI = 3.1415; error : type mismatch cannot convert from double to float.

then you had changed it to either (float) 3.1415 or 3.1415F

Intersection of exception in class or interface hierarchy

Question? Q1. Will below program compile? public class ExceptionTestForInterface implements Type3 {   public void f()   {     System. out .println( "Hello World" );   }      public static void main(String[] args )   {     Type3 type = new ExceptionTestForInterface();     type .f();   } } interface Type1 {   void f() throws CloneNotSupportedException; } interface Type2 {      void f() throws InterruptedException;    } interface Type3 extends Type1, Type2{    } Ans => Yes, It will compile and successfully print the "Hello World" Remember The set of checked exceptions that a method can throw is the intersection of the sets of checked exceptions that it is declared to throw in all applicable types.
