I had trouble understanding the invoking of the overload, but I figured it finally out and wrote it for you guys, who might have the same issue:

What happens here is that in the method (line 43) we are invoking overload that starts on line 47.
We do that by combining the fn and ln in line 44. Why? Because the overload expects a string of FULL NAME! But in the method (line 43), it only has names separately, so it does not concatenate them!
So, whenever you say that “hey, take the first name and ADD it to the last name”, you are automatically invoking the overload, since it has it in the argument. What happens then is that we are running the code that has the for-if statement, which iterates over the indexes and checks if the fullName is equal to the getFullname and returns the index where this match happened.

Hope it helps someone!

We are pretty much accessing the second searchList method by calling the first one, you can make the second searchList(List, String fullname) private and the code still executes fine.
Cool.

I still get -1 even I do those changes. I cant type .strip(); because my eclipse is old. What should I do?

Is line 51 why do you still need to call the .getFullName() method?
