Multilevel Inheritance with Overriding in C++

This C++ program demonstrates multilevel inheritance with method overriding in classes. The val() methods have been declared virtual, the V-table always keeps track of the latest version of val() method. As the pointer to an object is upcast to a ‘less-derived’ Class, correct version of the method is called when a particular method val() is called as the V-table now keeps track of the latest version of method val().

Here is the source code of the C++ program demonstrates multilevel inheritance without method overriding in classes. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

```
 
```

    std::cout << "Base.Value() = " << B->val() << std::endl;

    std::cout << "Derived.Value() = " << D->val() << std::endl;

    std::cout << "MostDerived.Value() = " << MD->val() << std::endl;

```
}

$ a.out
Base.Value() = 1
Derived.Value() = 2
MostDerived.Value() = 3
