Can I call a base class’s virtual function if I’m overriding it?

In C++ you have to explicitly name the base class in calling the derived class method. This can be done from any method from the derived class. The override is a special case of the method of the same name. In Java there is no multi inheritance, so you can use super which will uniquely name the base class. The C++ syntax is like this:

class Bar : public Foo {
  // ...

  void printStuff() override {  // help the compiler to check
    Foo::printStuff(); // calls base class' function
  }
};
