Suppose that you create overloaded method versions with the following declarations:private static void MyMethod(double d)private static void MyMethod(float f)Would MyMethod() run if it is called with an integer argument? Describe how C# determines which, if either, method should run when MyMethod() is called.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

If you call MyMethod() using an integer argument, both of the above versions are applicable methods, meaning that either method on its own could accept a call that uses an int. However, if both methods exist in the same class (making them overloaded), the second version will execute because it is a better match for the method call. The rules that determine which method version to call are known as betterness rules. If no method version with an int parameter exists, a float is a better match than a double based on the betterness rules for data type conversion.
