Virtual functions

Name: Anonymous 2008-11-06 20:23

What, pray tell, is the purpose of a virtual function? Also, why would you implement a "virtual" method? It just doesn't make sense.

Hey fucktard, the purpose of a virtual function is a placeholder for classes that derive from it.  Derived classes can implement the function in a way meaningful to the class.  That way you can have a method supported by multiple subclasses.  If you make the virtual function pure, then non-abstract subclasses HAVE to implement it.  Thanks.

But, why do they call it "virtual"?

Name: Anonymous 2008-11-06 22:49

A virtual functions is also useful for the destructor.

If the base class's destructor is called before the derived objects destructor's have been called, then the derived objects will be destroyed as well.

That's why it is a good idea to declare the base class's destructor as virtual.

Because it means pretty much the same as "abstract", and probably appealed more to Stroustrop.

Thanks guys. I think I understand virtual functions now. Now I will create some amazing programs in Sepples.

It is named virtual because the faggots who came up with this shit wanted to come up with the vaugest keywords possible.

You faggots are too stupid to appreciate VB.Net. In VB.Net if an inherited class must override a given method, the method is declared as MustOverride in the base class. You know, because you don't have to virtual the method, you have to override it.

You need to move to a better architecture.

That someone is you. The keyword for the class in VB.Net would be MustInherit, becuase you must inherit it. Calling it abstact is itself abstract and faggy.

Maybe instead of a keyword, they should make it a couple of paragraphs explaining what it does and when you should use it, with some short examples.
It's VB programmers, after all, so this may be the only way to force feed them some actual programming knowledge during their bouts of copypastaing broken code from forums and randomly mutating it until it runs.

See little faggot. You didn't know that VB.Net and VB are different languages. Same syntax, different languages. Like how C++ is C syntax. Or Javascript is C syntax. Javascript is not C though. But you seem to thing that all VB syntax languages are Visual Basic.

Yes, VB.Net does have:
If Then
End If

But faggy C syntax is still
if()
{
} //end if

And yes, if you are not a faggot and write a sufficiently complicated program, commenting your brackets is actually good coding.

Except in a decent IDE like Visual Studio all one has to type is "if" to get the rest. In C syntax who the fuck knows what the fuck they are going to do after typing if. It could be anything. So in the end, the verbose VB means less typing. Weird to everyone who is a faggot and doesn't understand shit.

Why is it that retarded programmers always put the opening bracket on a new line after the if()?

Having so much levels of indentation that you actually have to comment your closing brackets means your code is broken and you need to fix it.

Hey now. There's nothing wrong with Visual Basic. It promotes good programming styles, such as the use of sequential style code and the use of If statements to test for conditions.
