Override
Deutsch ยท English
Back to Reserved words.
The override modifier:
- is part of object-oriented programming;
- allows a virtual and abstract method from a parent class to be overridden (replaced).
Example:
Type
TParentClass = class // The parent class is derived from the base class
public
function volume : double; virtual; abstract; // This method must be one from this class
// - derived class can be hidden or overridden
function surface double; virtual; abstract; // This method must be one from this class
// - derived class can be hidden or overridden
end;
Type
TChildClass = class(ParentClass) // The child class is derived from the parent class
public
function volume : double; override; // the virtual method is overridden (replaced)
function surface double; override; // the virtual method is overridden (replaced)
