Compiler confused which function to call so it gives compile time error.

There is ambiguity occur while calling the BixTest function so the compiler generate compile time error.

Compiler will not be able to distinguish among the functions.

Compiler get confused to which function is to be called.

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

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.

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

You will get an ambiguity error because of default argument.

There is cout in main function @Dattu.

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?
