Re: Auto type conversion

Actually it doesn't work either. defining my own max(Integer l, Integer
r) worked but I was not able to use the Math.max function. I get the
following error message:

Caught: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Ambiguous method overloading for 
method: max. Cannot resolve which method to invoke due to overlapping 
prototypes between: [double, double] and: [float, float]
groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Ambiguous method overloading for method: 
max. Cannot resolve which method to invoke due to overlapping prototypes 
between: [double, double] and: [float, float]

I simplified the code to its minimum 

import java.math.max;
i = 10;
println Math.max ((int) 2, (int) i);

I don't know why it doesn't see Math.max(int, int). Just to make sure I
changed the int cast to a float cast and got the same error message. So
something is really wrong with the type conversion. It is in my limited
experience with groovy where I spend the most time trying to figure what
groovy translated what in what. It is not my preferred part of the
language for sure.

Anyway continue the good work. There are plenty of positives.
