This section on C++ MCQs (multiple choice questions) focuses on “Friends Functions”. One shall practice these MCQs to improve their C++ programming skills needed for various interviews (campus interviews, walk-in interviews, company interviews), placements, entrance exams, and other competitive exams.
These questions can be attempted by anyone focusing on learning C++ programming language. They can be a beginner, fresher, engineering graduate, or an experienced IT professional. Our multiple-choice questions come with a detailed explanation of the answers which helps in a better understanding of C++ concepts.
