Can overloading be done on return type? How?

Hi,

It is an accepted fact that Java does not support return-type-based overloading.

This means that a class cannot have two methods that differ only by return type -- you can't have int doXyz(int x) and double doXyz(int x) in the same class. And indeed, the Java compiler duly rejects any such attempt

In the case of method overloading,

Methods cannot be overloaded only on the basis of return type atleast one argument should be different otherwise compiler will give the message The function is already defined in the class .


Thanks,
Riju.

only on return type it nt possible
ex int one(int a,int b);
float one (int a,int b)
this type is nt possible
