If no, then how??? Um, by NOT doing it? :-)
thanks

Check the FAQ:

http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit....html#faq-20.8

You might want to read the whole FAQ. It's very helpful.

No.

if yes then how?

Non-applicable.

and if no , then how?

How can something NOT be done?

Is this one of those "tree falling in the woods" questions?

Easy, you do anything but that thing.

Use e.g. Google to look up the hundreds of previous threads on that topic.

Short answer: if you mean the idiom "virtual constructor", yes (and see
the FAQ); if you mean can you declare a C++ constructor as "virtual", no
(see your textbook); if you mean can we sensibly extend the language to
allow that, yes, in more than one way (see clc++m discussions of that).
if yes then how?
and if no , then how?

See above.

Or, even easier...do nothing.

Yep. Sort of like flying by throwing yourself
at the ground and missing.
