Ah, the old 'let's confuse the programmer with some weird function overloading' trick. I'm gonna have to go with B) It prints: 3,?0.3. The first op function is straightforward, but the second one is a real head-scratcher. Maybe the developer was trying to channel their inner Gandalf or something.

Yeah, it's like they wanted to add some mystery to the code. But B) It prints: 3,?0.3 makes sense.

I think you're right, that second op function is definitely throwing a curveball.

Wow, this code is a real head-scratcher. I'm going to have to go with D) It prints: 0,0. The second op function is completely messed up, and I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be doing. Maybe the developer was trying to impress the interviewer with some fancy C++ tricks, but it just ended up being a disaster.

The code is definitely confusing. I also think it prints: 3,0. The second op function is not functioning as expected.

Yeah, the second op function is a mess. It's returning 0 no matter what. So, the output will be: 3,0.

I agree, the second op function is definitely not correct. It should have been returning y instead of x?y. So, it prints: 3,0.

I think it prints: 3,0. The first op function adds the two integers, and the second op function returns 0 for any value of x.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with C) It prints: 3,0. The first op function is correct, but the second one is clearly broken. I wonder if the developer was trying to do some kind of ternary operation, but it's not working as expected.

This code has a problem with the second op function. The return statement 'x?y' is not valid C++ syntax. I think the correct answer is B) It prints: 3,?0.3.

The output should be 3,0.3. The first call to op(i, j) will return the sum of i and j, which is 3. The second call to op(0, f) will return 0.3, since the first parameter is an integer and the second parameter is a float.
