Running Batch in Execute Anonymous but throwing error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: void executeBatch(UpdateGender, Integer) from the type Database

Hi all, I did this batch apex code.
public class UpdateGender {
    
    public database.querylocator start(database.batchableContext abc){
        string a = 'SELECT Student_Id__c, Name, Gender__c FROM Student__c';
        return database.getquerylocator(a);
    }
    
    public void execute(database.batchableContext def, list<Student__c> x){
        for(Student__c a : x){
            if(a.Gender__c == 'Male'){
                a.Name = 'Mr'+a.Name;
            }
            else if(a.Gender__c == 'Female'){
                a.Name = 'Mrs'+a.Name;
            }
        }
        update x;
    }
    
    public void finish(database.batchableContext ghi){
        system.debug('Finish::!');
    }
}
I wrote executed code in anonymous windows is as follows above
UpdateGender obj = new UpdateGender();
database.executeBatch(obj,10);
While i'm executing this batch in anonymous window they were showing error as below image
error
Please resolve my issue problem. Thank you to all

Hi Hari nath,

Below is the syntax for the batch class. I done see you are implementing Database.Batchable interface. Can you try modifying it.
 
global class MyBatchClass implements Database.Batchable<sObject> {
    global (Database.QueryLocator | Iterable<sObject>) start(Database.BatchableContext bc) {
        // collect the batches of records or objects to be passed to execute
    }
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<P> records){
        // process each batch of records
    }    
    global void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc){
        // execute any post-processing operations
    }    
}

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,
