  2. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    When overriding one method with another, the signatures of the two methods must be identical (and with same visibility). In C#, class methods, indexers, properties and events can all be overridden. Non-virtual or static methods cannot be overridden. The overridden base method must be virtual, abstract, or override.

  3. Function overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

    The functions must have different type signatures, i.e. differ in the number or the types of their formal parameters (as in C++) or additionally in their return type (as in Ada). [9] Function overloading is usually associated with statically-typed programming languages that enforce type checking in function calls. An overloaded function is a ...

  4. Virtual function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_function

    And even if methods owned by the base class call the virtual method, they will instead be calling the derived method. Overloading occurs when two or more methods in one class have the same method name but different parameters. Overriding means having two methods with the same method name and parameters. Overloading is also referred to as ...

  5. Method (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)

    Method overloading, on the other hand, refers to differentiating the code used to handle a message based on the parameters of the method. If one views the receiving object as the first parameter in any method then overriding is just a special case of overloading where the selection is based only on the first argument.

  6. Ad hoc polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_polymorphism

    Ad hoc polymorphism is a dispatch mechanism: control moving through one named function is dispatched to various other functions without having to specify the exact function being called. Overloading allows multiple functions taking different types to be defined with the same name; the compiler or interpreter automatically ensures that the right ...

  7. Virtual class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_class

    Like virtual functions, virtual classes follow the same rules of definition, overriding, and reference. [2] When a derived class inherits from a base class, it must define or override the virtual inner classes it inherited from the base class. An object of the child class may be referred to by a reference or pointer of the parent class type or ...

  8. Factory method pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern

    In object-oriented programming, the factory method pattern is a design pattern that uses factory methods to deal with the problem of creating objects without having to specify their exact classes. Rather than by calling a constructor, this is accomplished by invoking a factory method

  9. Composition over inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

    The C++ examples in this section demonstrate the principle of using composition and interfaces to achieve code reuse and polymorphism. Due to the C++ language not having a dedicated keyword to declare interfaces, the following C++ example uses inheritance from a pure abstract base class.
