Hi All,

Can we have two methods with same name but different return types in a class ?

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

what is your opinion? you cant have two methods with same signature[name and parameter] in a class

just for an information : however,Nested class can have a method which is already defined in Outer class, but it is different

Thank you Seetharam.

you are welcome

so, in your case you are concern with only method *name* insteadof signature, so overloading[reusing name] is possible .
