*const* in C++ is not exactly same as *final* in java. SO unlike java adding the keyword const to a function does not affect overriding. Infact, adding in C++ const functions ==> that they will not modify any member of the class. non-const functions cannot be invoked by const objects.
Try making object 'a' as const i.e. const x a; and then invoke f(), it should invoke the correct version. Note that C++ allows function overloading based on const-ness. Refer (Const function section) http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/const_correctness.html Also, subscript operators generally come in pairs, Refer http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/operator-overloading.html#faq-13.10 http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/const-correctness.html#faq-18.12 Regards, Sandeep Jain On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 10:09 PM, dheeraj tyagi <dheeraj2...@gmail.com>wrote: > const means that it cannot be overloaded..i think due to that this is > happening. > > > On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 9:26 PM, segfault <pawan1991ya...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> #include<iostream> >> using namespace std; >> class x{ >> public: >> x() {} >> >> int func() const{ >> cout<<"it is const function\n"; >> } >> >> int func() { >> cout<<"it is simple functin\n"; >> } >> >> >> }; >> int main() >> { >> x a; >> a.func(); >> return 0; >> } >> >> why cann't it take const function? >> explain it >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Algorithm Geeks" group. >> To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. >> >> > > > -- > With regards > Dheeraj Tyagi > 8197218001 > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Algorithm Geeks" group. > To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
