 public class Simple{
     public static void main(String args[]){
         method(null);
     }
     public static void method(Object o) {
         System.out.println("Object" + o);
     }
     public static void method(String s) {
         System.out.println("String" + s);
     }
 }

Why above code snippet produces "Stringnull" output and not "Objectnull"?
