Function Overriding

The document discusses function overriding in C++ inheritance, explaining how a derived class can override a base class function when both have the same method signature. It provides examples demonstrating how to call overridden functions and access base class functions using the scope resolution operator. The document also touches on issues that may arise with multiple inheritance and how to resolve them.
