Description: Method resolution in C++ is a fundamental concept that refers to the process by which the compiler determines which method should be invoked at runtime, depending on the type of object being used. This mechanism is crucial in object-oriented programming, where classes can have methods with the same name but different implementations. Method resolution allows the program to call the correct method, ensuring that the appropriate logic is executed based on the specific type of the object in question. There are two main types of method resolution: static resolution, which occurs at compile time, and dynamic resolution, which takes place at runtime. Dynamic resolution is achieved through the use of pointers and references to base classes, allowing the program to correctly handle inheritance and polymorphism. This mechanism not only enhances code flexibility and reuse but also enables developers to create more complex and robust systems, where interactions between different types of objects are essential for software functionality.
