There are 2 methods in a class. Both have the same method
signature except for return types. Is this overloading or
overriding or what is it?

Answer Posted / debapriya maity

See overloading has nothing to do with Covariant Return
types ,in fact overloading dosent take into consideration
the return types.

But in case of ovveriding u can provide Covariant return type

say for example

class A {
protected A getModel(){
return this;
}
}
class B extends A{

public B getModel(){

return this
}
}
and there are many other examples of
covariant return types like this.

Since B is A(IS-A RelationShip)
so the return type can be a subclas of the super class
