Method Overloading - Doubt

Hi,
what is the output of the following code snippet and plese explain the reason for the output.

Code Java:

---

class Demo
{
	void eat(Object o)
	{
		System.out.println("Object");
	}
	void eat(String a)
	{
		System.out.println("String");
	}
	public static void main(String ap[])
	{
		new Demo().eat(null);
	}
}

Why can't you compile this and work it out for yourself? You won't learn anything unless you try. It's pretty straight forward..
