  • Enables dynamic binding, allowing the program to decide at runtime which function to call.

  • Declared using the keyword 'virtual' in the base class.

  • Example: In a base class 'Shape', a virtual function 'draw()' can be overridden in derived classes like 'Circle' and 'Square'.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. How can dangling pointers be avoided?
Ans. 

Dangling pointers can be avoided by setting them to NULL after freeing the memory they point to.

  • Always initialize pointers to NULL.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is the difference between a structure and a union?
Ans. 

Structure is a collection of variables of different data types while union is a collection of variables of same data type.

  • Structure allocates memory for all its variables while union allocates memory for only one variable at a time.

  • Structure is used when we want to store different types of data while union is used when we want to store only one type of data.

  • Structure is accessed using dot operator while union is a...
