Question: 1 / 565

Can C++ overload functions based on their return type alone?

Yes, always

No, never

C++ cannot overload functions based on their return type alone. Overloading functions requires that they have different parameters, not simply different return types. This means that options A and C, which suggest that overloading based on return type is sometimes possible, are incorrect. Option D is not correct because templates involve type parameters rather than return type parameters, and therefore cannot be used to overload based on return type.
