virtual??

[Jorgen Sigvardsson]

I think you should ignore the fact that a virtual method may have a default implementation where it's declared. The function is there (declared) but not there at the same time (not implemented). It's virtually there. :) -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

Yeah that kinda makes sense... but it still seems a little flimsy. Why not overridable or somthing else... somthing more intuitive. Joel Holdsworth

From "The C++ programming language" by B. Stroustrup: The word virtual means: "may be redifined later in a class derived from this one."

A student knows little about a lot. A professor knows a lot about little. I know everything about nothing.

a friend of a friend *cough* said that that was a vb.net keyword you dont want to include vb keywords into c++ do you? //Roger

"generic" makes more sense to me though, than "virtual" Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio

que? are you saying that static is the same as private, and virtual is the same as abstract?
