C++ return type overload hack

Question

I was bored and came up with such hack (pseudocode):

 1 struct proxy {
 2     operator int(); // int function
 3     operator double(); // double function
 4             


        

Answer 1

The issue is that if the function has two return types, it's probably doing two different (alternative) things . And to the extent possible, each function/method should do one coherent thing.
