+# Virtual Functions in C++
+
+Virtual functions enable runtime polymorphism in C++, allowing derived classes to override base class behavior. When called via a base pointer/reference, the *actual object's type* determines which function is executed (dynamic dispatch). Non-virtual functions use compile-time resolution based on the pointer/reference type (static dispatch), which prevents overriding.
+
+```cpp
+// Base class with virtual function
+class Animal {
+public:
+    virtual void speak() { std::cout << "Generic sound"; }
+};
+
+// Derived class override
+class Dog : public Animal {
+public:
+    void speak() override { std::cout << "Woof!"; } // Dynamic dispatch
+};
+```
