Really? I'm surprised you took the time to hold down the shift key if you were too lazy to come up with any kind of useful title.

You make a member function virtual when you want to change it's behavior between base and derived classes without changing the interface. This is how C++ handles polymorphism.

Friend functions have full access to a class, but aren't restricted to member function call syntax. They're a slightly weaker extension of the class interface.
