I know that all primitive types are objects and can be null in Apex
But is there a way to handle the null value when doing polymorphism ?
public class myClass{
public myClass(String name){
// handle input
}
public myClass(Integer num){
// handle input
}
}
new myClass(null);
I am getting the error below when trying to instantiate my class with a null value

The compiler cannot figure out which method to call here in the anonymous window because you are calling with 'null' explicitly vs having a variable type which it can use to figure out what you want. So, for example this code would work just fine:
Or, you could do:
In both cases we are providing the compiler with the information it needs to figure out which method to call.
