I have four methods with the same name and when i compile it give me a
error.

thank you very much
Alberto Marques

the error :
MyRect.java:44: buildRect(java.awt.Point,java.awt.Point) in MyRect
cannot be aplied to (int,int,int,int)
rect.buildRect(25, 25, 50, 50);

the code :

import java.awt.Point;

class MyRect {
int x1 = 0;
int y1 = 0;
int x2 = 0;
int y2 = 0;

MyRect buildRect(Point topLeft, Point bottomRight){
x1 = topLeft.x;
y1 = topLeft.y;
x2 = bottomRight.x;
y2 = bottomRight.y;

return this;
}

MyRect builRect(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2) {
this.x1 = x1;
this.y1 = y1;
this.x2 = x2;
this.y2 = y2;

return this;
}

MyRect builder( Point topleft, int w, int h ) {
x1 = topleft.x;
y1 = topleft.y;
x2 = ( x1 + w );
y2 = ( y1 + h );
return this;
}

void printRect(){
System.out.print("Myrect : <" + x1 + " , " + y1);
System.out.println(", " + x2 + " , " + y2 + ">");
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
MyRect rect = new MyRect();
System.out.println("Calling buildRect with cordinates 25,25 50,50:");

rect.buildRect(25, 25, 50, 50);

rect.printRect();
System.out.println("_________");
System.out.println("Calling buildRect w/points (10,10), (20,20):");

rect.buildRect( new Point(10,10), new Point(20,20) );

rect.printRect();
System.out.println("_________");
System.out.print("Calling buildRect w/1 point (10,10),");
System.out.println("width (50) and height (50)");

//rect.buildRect( new Point(10,10), 50, 50);

rect.printRect();
System.out.println("_________");
}
}
