I thought Java enforces types strictly. Then I'm confused with the
method (or the smae name and number of parameters) overload
resolution scheme:
It uses a parameter-type conversion cost table to determine
"which matching method has the lowest type conversion cost."
Is this conversion an implicit casting? Isn't implicit casintg
only allowed when a subclass is casted to its mother class?
BTW, the quotation is from p15 of the Java Specification.
It's a very good document.
