java - How do you overload dependent on what an object is an instance of? -

i've been instructed create 2 methods overload eachother. 1 should store object in 1 array, , other should store object in other array. assignment reads:

redo zoo has ability storing wild animals , domestic animals separately. zoo class therefore probably/presumably have 2 different add() methods. 1 receives animal-object implements interface wildlife , add() method receives animal objects implement interface domestic animals.

how do this?

class zoo { ... void add(animal foobar instanceof wild){ [...] } [...] 

will not compile. nor does

class zoo { ... void add(animal foobar implements wild){ [...] } [...] 

one could, in reality, use instanceof if statement in add(), asking 2 add() methods overload eachother. how do this? or, impossible, , teach trying mess me saying probably/presumably?

the key provide 2 add() methods, 1 takes 1 type of parameter (a wildlife animal type) , 1 takes other type of parameter (a domestic animal type).

you should have enough information code now.

addendum (march 2016)

for example, kind of code use:

class animal { ... }  interface wildlife { ... } interface domestic { ... }  class wildanimal     extends animal     implements wildlife { ... }  class domesticanimal     extends animal     implements domestic { ... }  class zoo {     void add(wildanimal beast) { ... }     void add(domesticanimal beast) { ... } } 

both zoo.add() methods accept argument of type animal. 1 accepts animal object implements wildlife interface, , other accepts animal object implements domestic interface.
