Question

I’m trying to access a method in a class I made, but since it is similar in name and in number of arguments my IDE says the method is ambiguous. Here’s a mock-up of what the two methods look like:

methodName(X, Y, Z)
methodName(A, Y, Z)

I called on the method, and passed in the value null for the first argument for the purpose of my test. Unfortunately I cannot rename the methods, change the order of the arguments or modify the structure of the method in any way. Is there a way I can differentiate between these two methods?

Answer 1

Cast the first argument to the type of the first parameter of the method you want to call, for example:

methodName((A) null, y, z);
