What should this code output? Oddly enough, it compiles.

#include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << '/dd1s'; }

If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

'/dd1s' is a multi-character (multichar) literal , whose type is int .

Depending on the compiler implementation, the '/ dd1s' is converted to an int (for example, through overflow), and this int is output to stdout.
