Multiple Dispatch
=================
```Example from 1 languages: Julia
collide_with(x::Asteroid, y::Asteroid) = ... # deal with asteroid hitting asteroid
collide_with(x::Asteroid, y::Spaceship) = ... # deal with asteroid hitting spaceship
collide_with(x::Spaceship, y::Asteroid) = ... # deal with spaceship hitting asteroid
collide_with(x::Spaceship, y::Spaceship) = ... # deal with spaceship hitting spaceship
```
```Example from 1 languages: Common Lisp
(defmethod collide-with ((x asteroid) (y asteroid))
;; deal with asteroid hitting asteroid
)
(defmethod collide-with ((x asteroid) (y spaceship))
;; deal with asteroid hitting spaceship
)
(defmethod collide-with ((x spaceship) (y asteroid))
;; deal with spaceship hitting asteroid
)
(defmethod collide-with ((x spaceship) (y spaceship))
;; deal with spaceship hitting spaceship
)
```
