Question

I created a search method which can only receive an object to search for. But now another method in which a use enters a string has to send a value to the search method. The problem is I cannot send the string received from the user to the method which receives objects. Is there a way I can create an object that contanis this string, and send it to the search method?

A string is an object. Object is the ancestor of everything. Everything is an object. Just pass the string.

Solution 1

We dont how your search method works or what type of object its expecting.
since you said you want to pass a string (or say other data type) to the search method you can use method overloading[^] in your application to accept different data types.

Construct the actual objects inside these overloaded methods and call the actual Search method from these overloads.
