One can overload the methods, only by 1. Change in number of arguments.2. Change in type of arguments.And NOT on return type. Hence in the above case, you cannot overload "example(int x)" method by changing its return type

Overloading never concerns with return type. Even if the method void example(int x) is overloaded with different parameters and no. of parameters the return type is same i.e void mean nothing it is returning.
