Why dont languages allow overloading of methods by return value?

Question

c, java and many other languages do not pay attention to return values.

int   i = func()
float f = func()
int   func() { return 5 }
float func() { return 1.3         


        

Answer 1

Allowing these may introduce problems. For example:

int i = func2(func());
int func() { return 5; }
float func() { return 1.3; }
int func2(float a) { return a; }
int func2(int a) { return a; }

This is ambiguous.
