How can the situation of confusing multiple methods that have arguments of long, int, and short sizes be handled?

One way to handle the situation of confusing multiple methods that have arguments of long, int, and short sizes is by giving them descriptive and unique names that reflect their purpose. For example, instead of having multiple methods with similar names such as "calculate", we can have "calculateLong", "calculateInt", and "calculateShort" to differentiate them based on the type of argument they take.

Another way to handle this is by using method overloading. Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name to exist in a class as long as they have different parameter types or numbers. This way, we can have one method "calculate" that takes a long argument, another "calculate" that takes an int argument, and a third "calculate" that takes a short argument, and the appropriate method will be automatically called based on the argument type passed.

Lastly, we can also use type casting, which is the process of converting a value from one data type to another. This can be useful in situations where we want to use a method that takes an argument of a certain type but only have a value of a different type available. However, caution should be exercised when using type casting as it can lead to loss of data and potential errors if not done correctly.
