C# OOP
What is the use of the virtual and override keywords?
Short answer: virtual → Marks a base class method as overridable. override → Overrides a virtual method in the derived class.
Real-world example (ShopNest)
ShopNest has a base PaymentMethod with virtual decimal Fee(). UpiPayment and CardPayment override the fee logic without changing the checkout caller.

- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
