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.

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.
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?
