It is quite weird. If I type in the REPL the following lines: > f(a=1, b=2) = a + 2b > f(a::Int, b::Int) = a - 2b > f() # this gives me -3 > f(1,2) # this gives me -3
but if I type > f(a=1, b=2) = a + 2b > f() # -> 5 > f(a::Int, b::Int) = a - 2b > f() # -> 5 again > f(1,2) # -> -3 so the call f() changes the behavior.
