C++ Overriding… overwriting?

Question

I know what overriding is in C++. But, is there overwriting? If so, what does it mean?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can overwrite variables, e.g. int a = 0; a = 42; and files (open an existing file for write - if you have permission it will overwrite the existing file contents) if that's what you mean. This has little in relation to overriding. Were you perhaps thinking of overloading?
