What is Virtual Keyword?..

Answer / jyoti bajaj

virtual keyword can be used with base classes as well as
with functions.Here we are talking about virtual base
classes.
class A
{
public:
A(){cout<<"it is class A"<<endl;}
};
class B:public A
{
public:
B(){cout<<"it is class B"<<endl;}
};
class C:public A
{
public:
C(){cout<<"it is class C"<<endl;}
};
class D:public B,public C
{
public:
D(){}
};
void main()
{
D obj;
}
output:
it is class A
it is class B
it is class A
it is class C

since class A is constructed twice.but if we want that only
one copy of class A should be shared by both classes A &
B.so we inherit the base class by using virtual keyword.

class A
{
public:
A(){cout<<"it is class A"<<endl;}
};
class B:virtual public A
{
public:
B(){cout<<"it is class B"<<endl;}
};
class C:virtual public A
{
public:
C(){cout<<"it is class C"<<endl;}
};
class D:public B,public C
{
public:
D(){}
};
void main()
{
D obj;
}
output:
it is class A
it is class B
it is class C
