Error in overloading: You cannot overload a function by differing only in default arguments!

To use cout and endl, you need to specify the namespace std.
std::cout << BixTest(2, 4) << std::endl;
std::cout << BixTest(2, 4) << std::endl;

This is actually a linking Error the compilation consists of two stages one is a compilation and another is linking so the linker will be confused to attach which function.

But in function overloading its is possible right? Compiler can identify fn by using parameters. We passed 2 params here then automatically compiler know to call which one too call how it leads to error?

There is cout in main function @Dattu.

You will get an ambiguity error because of default argument.

I have a small doubt, can we think that there is no "cout" that's why it cannot print any thing?

Actually the problem is only with passing the parameter to z, if you will not pass any parameter or actual parameter there will be no error, and ambiguity rises just because of parameters not as people said above just only by bixtest.

There are two reasons why compiler generates error. Firstly, redefinition of default parameter and secondly ambiguity of BixTest call.

Compiler get confused to which function is to be called.
