Override and Final
Explore the use of override and final keywords in C++ to control virtual function overriding. Understand how override enforces correct method signatures and how final prevents further overrides or inheritance, aiding in writing safer and more maintainable object-oriented code.
override #
The override keyword in a method declaration expresses that the method should override a virtual method of a base class. The compiler checks this assertion. It checks the parameter of the method, the return type of the method, and qualifiers like const and volatile. Of course, the compiler notices if the overridden method is not virtual.
The compiler verifies if the override annotated method actually overrides a virtual method of a base class.
