What is virtual keyword in java and uses of virtual keyword?	3

Although Java does NOT have a virtual keyword, Java has virtual functions and you can write them. In object-oriented programming, a virtual function or virtual method is a function or method whose behaviour can be overridden within an inheriting class by a function with the same signature. This concept is a very important part of the polymorphism portion of object-oriented programming (OOP).	0

Java does not have a virtual keyword because all non-static methods use dynamic binding and and therefore are be default virtual. In Java, the programmer doesn't have to decide whether to use dynamic binding. In Java you do not need to use any keyword like virtual or override since by default all non static functions are considered as virual. You have to make it either private or use final keyword to remove the default virtual feature in each function in the Java classes.	0
