YES...! 😎 Sometimes C++ can really confuse beginners 😅 — things that look simple end up behaving in unexpected ways! I remember staring at a tiny piece of code and wondering why it even worked the way it did. Guessing the output can feel like solving a puzzle 🧩 — but once you understand that everything in C++ follows simple rules, it all starts to make sense. The more you explore, the more you realize how expressions, streams, and conditions connect behind the scenes 🔍. It’s all part of the learning journey — those “wait… what just happened?” moments are where real understanding begins 💡💻 #cpp #cplusplus #programming #developers #coding #learning #beginners #100DaysOfCode
`return !static_cast<bool>(cout << "Hello World\n");` Sorry :)
I’ve never warmed to the stdio streaming operators. The printf formatting language takes some learning, but if you want to do any serious formatting, std::cout requires even less intuitive contortions.
I've never used stdout in any C++ code I've written at work. Given I've mostly done GUI, back-end, or library work any output needed to go into logfiles or just returned as error messages.
I feel there is a catch somewhere, but where? The code looks straightforward...
Will not compile, not all paths returns value.
