In a particular situation, the overriding factor is the one that is the most important. My overriding concern is to raise the standards of state education. more important than anything else
Providing a different implementation of a method in a subclass of the class that originally defined the method For example, if the base class defines a method called report, which produces a report in a specific format, a subclass can override (redefine) that method so a report request to an object of the subclass will produce a report in a different format
A technique for giving operators and functions more than one meaning so that they react differently to differently to different messages This can include methods inherited from base classes which can be overridden by writing another method with the same name in the derived class
first in priority; more important than all others; of a manual operation that bypasses an automatic operation; voiding of a decision or authority of another (especially of a lower rank)
When using inheritance, our new class gets all the methods from the parent class However, we may want a different implementation for one of those methods This is done by overriding the original (inherited) method with our own code Typically our new code can also call back into the parent object's original implementationbased on the VB 7 demo shown at VBITS this would be done using the MyBase keyword (e g MyBase methodname)
