 > '*class1*::*function1*': overriding virtual function return type differs and is not covariant from '*class2*::*function2*'
 
-A virtual function and a derived overriding function have identical parameter lists but different return types.
-
 ## Remarks
 
+A virtual function and a derived overriding function have identical parameter lists but different return types.
+
 In C++, an overriding function in a derived class can't differ only by return type from a virtual function in a base class.
 
 There's an exception to this rule for certain return types. When a derived class overrides a public base class, it may return a pointer or reference to the derived class instead of a base-class pointer or reference. These return types are called *covariant*, because they vary together with the type. This rule exception doesn't allow covariant reference-to-pointer or pointer-to-pointer types.
