Overloading by return type

Question

I read few questions here on SO about this topic which seems yet confusing to me. I\'ve just begun to learn C++ and I haven\'t studied templates yet or operator overloading

Answer 1

As stated before, templates are overkill in this case, but it is still an option worth mentioning.

class My {
public:
    template T get(int);
};

template<> int My::get(int);
template<> char My::get(int);
