C++ Overriding… overwriting?

Question

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

Thanks.

C++ Function Overriding. If derived class defines same function as defined in its base class, it is known as function overriding in C++. It is used to achieve runtime polymorphism. It enables you to provide specific implementation of the function which is already provided by its base class.
