RE: How many ways a function can be used according to the argument list and return types? Explain
That's true overloading in not possible in C.
But in C++ function can be varied depending on its argument not on the return type.
because if there are two function with the same name having same argument list but with different kind of return type compiler will unable to resolve this which function is to be made since at that it compile know about the argument list. return type will be resolve after executing these function. So compiler will give you error in this case.
