14.6. 14.6 Overriding
Overriding is the process of replacing an existing method in an inherited class with one more suitable for the new class. In the point and point3D examples appearing in the previous section, the distance method (presumably) computes the distance from the origin to the specified point. For a point on a two-dimensional plane, you can compute the distance using the function:
However, the distance for a point in 3D space is given by the equation:
Clearly, if you call the distance function for point for a point3D object you will get ...
