Im confused what virtual int and virtual string means.
Moreover, I’m confused what the prefix “virtual” has to do with anything; I have a feeling it has to do with vectors.
The
virtualhas nothing to do with theint, nor does it have anything to do with vectors. Theintspecifies the type of value the function returns when it’s done. Thevirtualspecifies that the function call be handled in a special way that’s related to inheritance.I expect this question has duplicate answers on here already. Search for stuff about the
virtualkeyword in C++.Your question is a very elementary C++ question, and I believe a full explanation of what
virtualmeans is outside the scope of what StackOverflow can help you with anyway. You should find a nice beginners C++ book.
