I bet the correct answer is a compilation error. I mean, come on, who writes code like this? It's like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Hold on, is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy? I'm so confused, I think I need to go take a nap and come back to this question later.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm pretty sure the program will run forever because the while loop never terminates. It's like an infinite loop of finding adjacent duplicates!

I think the output will be 3 8, because the adjacent_find function will return the iterator pointing to the second pair of duplicates, which is the second 4 in the vector.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be B) program outputs: 2 7 because the iterator is incremented by 1 each time.

I agree with Tiffiny, because the code uses adjacent_find to find the first occurrence of two adjacent elements that are equal.

The output will be 2 7, since the adjacent_find function will return the first iterator pointing to the first duplicate element, which is the second 3 in the vector.
