Suppose the base class and the derived class each have a member function with the same signature. When you have a pointer to a base class object and call a function member through the pointer, discuss what determines which function is actually called—the base class member function or the derived-class function.

What is the difference between a friend function of a class and a member function of a class? (3)
When a pointer to a base class is made to point to a derived class, the pointer ignoresany __________ the derived class performs, unless the function is __________.
If a derived class redefines a member function inherited from the base class, for example a printInfo function, the derived class can call the base class's version of the function but it needs to use what operator to do so?
Suppose that a class employeeType is derived from the class personType. Give examples of members—data and functions— that can be added to the class employeeType. Also write the definition of the class employeeType that you derived from the class personType, and the definitions of the member functions of this class.
If a base class has a virtual member function named check(), and a pointer variable ptr of that class is pointing to a derived object, then the code ptr->check(); calls the derived class check function if it is defined.
140. When a virtual member function is activated, how is the correct version of the function chosen? Group of answer choices The class provides some implementation of a pure virtual function. The class does not provide any implementation of a pure virtual function. Because there is no implementation, any class with a purevirtual function is called an abstract class and no instances of an abstract class may appear in a program. The pure virtual functions are expected to be overridden in the derived classes. The class does not provide any implementation of a pure virtual function. Because there is no implementation, any class with a purevirtual function is called an abstract class and no instances of an abstract class may appear in a program. The pure virtual functions are not expected to be overridden in the derived classes. The class provides implementation of a pure virtual function.

VIII-Data or functions in the base class must be _____ or _____to be accessed from a member function of the derived class. A default argument has a value that A-can be provided by the calling function B-can be provided by function C-must have a variable value D-must have a constant value 4-An object's non-static functions have access to the _______ pointer. This pointer is passed as a parameter to non-static functions by the compiler. 2-A function not belonging to the class must be declared as a _______ of a class in order to gain access to the private data members of that class. 9-When a parameter is passed by reference to a function function cannot access the value of the parameter A temporary variable is created in the calling function to hold the value of the argument.
