What is the value of p in the following C++ code?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int p;
bool a = true;
bool b = false;
int x = 10;
int y = 5;
p = ((x | y) + (a + b));
cout << p;
return 0;
}
a) 0
b) 16
c) 12
d) 2

Answer: b
Explanation: | means bitwise OR operation so x | y (0101 | 1010) will be evaluated to 1111 which is integer 15 and as a is true and b is false so a+b(1 + 0) = 1. So final value of expression in line #10 will be 15 + 1 = 16.
