A Virtual Table (or V-Table) is an essential concept in C++ for implementing polymorphism. It’s a data structure used to support dynamic dispatch for virtual functions. When you define a class with virtual functions, the compiler generates a V-Table for that class to keep track of the addresses of those virtual functions. At runtime, the V-Table is used to decide which function to call based on the type of the object, allowing polymorphism to work correctly.

Lambdas, or anonymous functions, in Unreal Engine can be very useful for writing concise and flexible code. However, they come with certain dangers, particularly when dealing with the lifetime of objects and capturing variables by reference. Here’s why:
