How are conditional operator functions (operators that return true/false) typically implemented in terms of return value?

  1. Return by reference

  2. Return by constant reference

  3. Return an integer or a boolean

  4. Return void

The correct answer is: Return an integer or a boolean

Conditional operator functions typically return an integer or a boolean value because they need to evaluate a condition and return either true or false. Returning by reference or constant reference is not necessary as the returned value can simply be stored in a variable. Returning void would not allow us to capture the result of the conditional operator function and use it in the rest of our code. Therefore, option A, B, and D are incorrect.
