Overridden functions and virtual functions are two different concepts... 1) Two functions in the same scope having same but different signatures = Over Loading 2) Two functions having same signatures but one defined in parent class and the other defined in child class == Overriding 3) Virtual functions, allow for run time polymorphism among overridden functions.(only when invoked using pointer)
btw I'm still trying to think if preventing function over-riding is possible...
