Is member function virtual by default in scala? Is it different than Java in this matter?
When a method is overriden you have to explicitly state that, but there is no “virtual”.

Yes.
No, in Java methods are also virtual unless they’re explicitly defined as
final.However Java is different from Scala in that Java doesn’t require (or have) the
overridekeyword in order to override methods – it does have an@overrideannotation though (since Java 1.5) and gives a warning when you override a method without that annotation.
