Question

What does it mean for a method in C++ to be virtual?

Any class that contains the virtual method is an abstract class and cannot be instantiated.

It employs dynamic dispatch (i.e., it is polymorphic).

Only its declaration appears in the .h file; its definition is in a separate .cc file.

It must be defined explicitly in every derived class.
