CSC152 2005S, Class 12: Lab on Object Basics

Admin:
* Work with partners

Overview:
* Notes on "overloading"
* Lab
* Reflection

Something interesting in Java: You can reuse procedure names!
* Both BigInteger and Fraction provide doubleValue and toString
* Within Fraction, we have two constructors (both named "Fraction")
* Within String, we have two methods named indexOf (one takes a string, one takes a string and a starting position)
* Ability to reuse names: "Overloading"
* Possible beause Java can (usually) determine which you mean
  * Look at the class of the object whose method you are calling
    *  bi.doubleValue, where bi is a BigInteger
  * Look at the parameters
