C# Method Overriding - c# - c# tutorial - c# net
What is method overriding in C# ?
- If derived class defines same method as defined in its base class, it is known as method overriding in C#. It is used to achieve runtime polymorphism.
- It enables you to provide specific implementation of the method which is already provided by its base class.
- To perform method overriding in C#, you need to use virtual keyword with base class method and override keyword with derived class method.
Method Overloading and Overriding
C# Method Overriding Example
- Let's see a simple example of method overriding in C#. In this example, we are overriding the eat() method by the help of override keyword.
using System;
public class Animal{
public virtual void eat(){
Console.WriteLine("Eating...");
}
}
public class Dog: Animal
{
public override void eat()
{
Console.WriteLine("Eating bread...");
}
}
public class TestOverriding
{
public static void Main()
{
Dog d = new Dog();
d.eat();
}
}
C# examples - Output :
Eating bread...
