This program will throw an error . nothing will be printed the compiler will be ambiguous to choose between print 1 and print 3 because in each of the case only 1 parameter type matches. so it will be unable to decide to select 1 or 3

Yes, I've checked it by copying it into a java class. It's a compile time error because of ambiguity!!

it does throw an error as it tries to choose from print 1 and print 3.
but the part of only 1 parameter match explanation is incorrect.

In Java, Widening will be done implicitly but narrowing should be done explicitly.
So, there comes an ambiguity with the widening.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method printN(int, double) is ambiguous for the type Conversions

Output copy pasted from Eclipse
As there is no function that overloads correctly even after integral conversions, this is a case of compilation error
