Pass different data types into function that returns nothing
0
I have a class method that returns nothing but modifies an instance variable of the current object, it needs to be able to take in two different data types as the same parameter (An instance of the class or a number).
public class MyClass
{
public void MyMethod([EITHER MyClass x OR double x])
if(x is MyClass)
//do something
else
//do something else
c# class methods

In 99.5% of cases, you should implement this as two separate methods, as per @Flydog57's suggestion.
