C# Method Overriding

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.

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();     } } 

Output:

Eating bread...
