Harikrishna Gorrepati, It won't compile. Which compiler you are using? And the reason, you can't change the return type when overriding. But, for overloading, it's not enough to change only the return type. You should change the signature of the method!

Thanks!

Yes Abimaran. That was my mistake. I did not keep "extends Alpha" in subclass. I am fine now.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
