Design a class to overload a function compare() as follows:

(a) void compare(int, int) — to compare two integer values and print the greater of the two integers.

(b) void compare(char, char) — to compare the numeric value of two characters and print the character with the higher numeric value.

(c) void compare(String, String) — to compare the length of the two strings and print the longer of the two.

Program:

class Overload {

    // Method to compare two integer values
    void compare(int a, int b) {
        if (a > b) {
            System.out.println(a);
        } else {
            System.out.println(b);
        }
    }

    // Method to compare the numeric values of two characters
    void compare(char a, char b) {
        if ((int) a > (int) b) {
            System.out.println(a);
        } else {
            System.out.println(b);
        }
    }

    // Method to compare the length of two strings
    void compare(String a, String b) {
        if (a.length() > b.length()) {
            System.out.println(a);
        } else {
            System.out.println(b);
        }
    }
}

Output:
