C# Return Different Types?

Question

I got something like this:

public [What Here?] GetAnything()
{
     Hello hello = new Hello();
     Computer computer = new Computer();
     Radio radio = ne         


        

Answer 1

You can have the return type to be a superclass of the three classes (either defined by you or just use object). Then you can return any one of those objects, but you will need to cast it back to the correct type when getting the result. Like:

public object GetAnything()
{
     Hello hello = new Hello();
     Computer computer = new Computer();
     Radio radio = new Radio();

     return radio; or return computer; or return hello //should be possible?!      
}

Then:

Hello hello = (Hello)getAnything();
