use original save function when own is also written

in Programming Questions • 2 years ago

I have a class, in that class i made a save function.

Now inside that class i also want to use the save function from processing to write a image to the hardDisk.

Now it wants to use my save function instand of processings one.

Afcorse i can rename my save to save2 for example but for the purpose of learning i was wondering if it's still possible to acces processing save function when i also have my own.

very stripped code (just in case someone prefer)

class GJPG{
String source;
byte[] b;
ArrayList<Glitch> glitches = new ArrayList<Glitch>();
GJPG(String source){
this.source = source;
this.b = loadBytes(source);
}
void save(String exportName){
// do stuff
};
// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
void saveSafe(String exportName){
save("temp/tmp.jpg");
PImage img = loadImage("../temp/tmp.jpg");
// here i want to use processings save function
//img.save;
}
}

There is ambiguity, because both functions have the same list of parameters. In Java, function overloading works only if the functions have different parameters (type, number, etc.).
Otherwise, you can also be explicit, like save(str) vs. parent.save(str) where parent is a reference on the PApplet.
