Why Method Overloaing is not possible by changing the return type of method?

In java, method overloading is not possible by changing the return type of the method because there may occur ambiguity. Let's see how ambiguity may occur: because there was problem: class Calculation3{ int sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);} double sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);} public static void main(String args[]){ Calculation3 obj=new Calculation3(); int result=obj.sum(20,20); //Compile Time Error } } Output::::: int result=obj.sum(20,20); //Here how can java determine which sum() method should be called
