Can overridden methods differ in return type?

Question

Can overridden methods have different return types?

Answer 1

YES it can be possible

class base {

 base show(){

System.out.println("base class");

return new base();

}
}

class sub extends base{

sub show(){

    System.out.println("sub class");

    return new sub();

 }
}

class inheritance{

 public static void main(String []args) {

        sub obj=new sub();

            obj.show();
 }
}
