Re: How many bytes per Italian character?

You failed your interview.

You CAN implement pure virtual function. Your implementation will be used
when it's called from your class constructor or destructor.

One of the top questions I have been asked is about pure virtual
functions.
I understand what they are, but I have yet to actually implement them.


Trick question: you can't implement a pure virtual function because by
definition it doesn't have an implementation! :-)
