Can you give me an example of when to use virtual functions?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! Use virtual functions when you want to call derived class methods through base class pointers, allowing for runtime method resolution.

What happens if I don't declare a function as virtual?

If a function is not declared as virtual, the base class version will be called, even if you are using a derived class object.
