Implicit type conversion – tricky scenario

Here are some of the scenarios where the implicit  type conversion can be unintuitive  and tricky.

• implicit conversion between int, float and bool

  #include <iostream>
  
  void print(char x){
    std::cout << "in the print method that has char arg\n";
  
  }
  
  void print(int x){
    std::cout << "in the print method that has int arg\n";
  }
  
  void print(bool x){
    std::cout << "in the print method that has bool arg\n";
  }
  
  int main(){
  int x =1;
  char ch = 'c';
  char * c = &ch;
  print(*c); // in the print method that has char arg
  print(*c+1); //in the print method that has int arg
  return 0;
  }
