    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(haha( (int) 5 ));
        System.out.println(haha( (double) 5.0 ));
        System.out.println(haha( (long) 5 ));
        System.out.println(haha( (float) 5.0 ));
        //all of these classes extend the java.lang.Number class 

        System.out.println(haha("Hey"));
        //error because the java.lang.String class does not extend the java.lang.Number class
    }
}
