Thank for your reply, but in case when there is two interfaces with two methods with the same signature but different return type, you couldn't implement bot of them. And nobody couldn't predict that.

@SoftwareEngeneeringLearner In Java method signature includes return type

"Definition: Two of the components of a method declaration comprise the method signature—the method's name and the parameter types." from here: docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/methods.html - so it includes method name and number and types of parameters, no return type unfortunately/fortunately (there is a whole different question on this).

@SoftwareEngeneeringLearner Sorry, my bad here. You are correct and your question makes more sense now, but I really think you should either rephrase, or even better, ask a new question about this, specifying the differing return types. Having two methods with the same signature, but different return types (IMO) can be an issue.
