Answer / manjusinga
A pure virtual function is a function that must be
overridden in a derived class and need not be defined. A
virtual function is declared to be "pure" using the
curious "=0"
syntax:
class Base {
public:
void f1(); // not virtual
virtual void f2(); // virtual, not pure
virtual void f3() = 0; // pure virtual
};

| Is This Answer Correct ? | 4 Yes | 0 No |
A pure virtual function tells the compiler that only
declaration is done here and it guarantees that function
definition will be done in the immediate class where object
is created.
It tells the user what it intended to do and without giving
complete details. And the pure virtual function will not
allow the user to create object and leads to abstract class.

Answer / nk
Any class containing any pure virtual function cannot be
used to create object of its own type.
And any class which is derived by such class must either
define the function or redefine the function.
