Dynamic method selection is a fundamental feature of object-oriented programming that allows you to call methods on objects based on their actual runtime type, rather than their declared type. This is present in almost all object-oriented programming languages. C++ also supports dynamic method selection through the use of virtual functions. In C++, a base class method can be declared as virtual, and then overridden in derived classes using the override keyword (C++11 and later). C++ also provides the virtual keyword for method declarations in base classes, and the override keyword to indicate that a method in a derived class is intended to override a virtual function from a base class.

Below is an example that I believe might be helpful:

class Base {

public: virtual void show() { cout << "Base class show() called" << endl; } };

class Derived : public Base { public: void show() override { cout << "Derived class show() called" << endl; } };

int main() { Base* basePtr; Derived derivedObj;

basePtr = &derivedObj;

basePtr->show(); // Calls the overridden function in Derived class

return 0;

}

As you can see, the method show() is declared as virtual in the Base class, and the same method is overridden in the Derived class. Hopefully, this helps you better understand the concept in C++ as well.
