Function Overriding in C++[With Example]
Function Overriding in C++ Inheritance allows software developers to derive a new class from the existing class. The derived class inherits features of the base class (existing class).
Suppose, both base class and derived class have a member function with same name and arguments (number and type of arguments).
If you create an object of the derived class and call the member function which exists in both classes (base and derived), the member function of the derived class is invoked and the function of the base class is ignored.
This feature in C++ is known as function overriding.
How function overriding works in C++?

How to access the overridden function in the base class from the derived class?

To access the overridden function of the base class from the derived class, scope resolution operator:: is used.
 For example,
If you want to access getData() function of the base class, you can use the following statement in the derived class.
Base::getData();

    C++ Templates ?

    C++ Templates Templates are powerful features of C++ which allows you to write generic programs. In simple terms, you can create a single function or a class to work with different data types using templates. Templates are often used in larger codebase for the purpose of code reusability and flexibility of the programs. The concept of templates can be used in two different ways: Function Templates Class Templates Function Templates A function template works in a similar to a normal  function , with one key difference. A single function template can work with different data types at once but, a single normal function can only work with one set of data types. Normally, if you need to perform identical operations on two or more types of data, you use function overloading to create two functions with the required function declaration. However, a better approach would be to use function templates because you can perform the same task writing less and maintainable co

    Example: Print Number Entered by User #include <iostream> using namespace std ; int main () { int number ; cout << "Enter an integer: " ; cin >> number ; cout << "You entered " << number ; return 0 ; } Output Enter an integer: 23 You entered 23 This program asks user to enter a number. When user enters an integer, it is stored in variable  number  using  cin . Then it is displayed in the screen using  cout

    Revolutionizing Way of Education In the period of data and instruction, everyone looks for a guide somebody who can comprehend their needs and somebody who can discover out of the challenge wilderness. In the rate races of today, everyone is walking on to become something significant or advantageous in their lives. In any case, the fundamental issue is: No one knows the way. standard classroom dynamics in India included two primary components—the teacher taught lessons verbally while occasionally writing on the blackboard, and students listened and took down notes. This did actics has been a standard practice for decades and left very little to no scope for interactive learning, where either students were discouraged from interrupting or were too shy to question. However, the Indian education system is undergoing a significant transformation, not just in terms of technology but also teachings aids and methodology.  Education technology, commonly referred to as educationiconnec
