Welcome! Building on our discussion of inheritance, we'll now explore method overriding. This allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass, thus giving you more control over behavior in derived classes. Ready to enhance your skills further? Let’s jump in!
In this lesson, you will learn the essentials and intricacies of method overriding in C#
. Specifically, you'll understand how to:
- Define a
virtual method
in a base class. - Override that method in a derived class.
- Use overridden methods to achieve polymorphism.
Consider the code from our example:
This example demonstrates how a Star
class overrides the MakeSound
method from the CelestialBody
base class to provide a more specific implementation.
