What happens when a virtual method is called on a base class reference that points to a derived class object?
easy🧠 Conceptual Q1 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand virtual method behavior
Virtual methods allow derived classes to override base class methods and provide their own implementation.Step 2: Analyze method call on base reference
When calling a virtual method on a base class reference that points to a derived object, the derived class's overridden method is invoked due to dynamic dispatch.Final Answer:
The derived class's overridden method is executed. -> Option BQuick Check:
Virtual method dispatch = Derived method called [OK]
Quick Trick: Virtual methods call derived overrides via base references [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming base method always runs
- Confusing virtual with non-virtual methods
- Expecting compile-time error
