When a function of the same name, same arguments or parameters, and same return type already present/declared in the base class is used in a derived class is known as Function Overriding. It is an example of Runtime Polymorphism or Late Binding which means the overridden function will be executed at the run time of the execution.
A derived class inherits the features of base class. If the same function is defined in both base and derived class and we call the function through the object of derived class. In such a case, the function of derived class is executed. This is known as function overriding in C++.
