Question

currently i found myself stuck on step 3 i have made some attempts but keep running into problems.

STEP 3: Add a Base Class Pointer Array and an Additional Function
Add to the test function a base class array of pointers of the same dimension as the total number of Circle and
Rectangle objects that were created in the previous step. Use this pointer array to access the Circle and the
Rectangle objects to call a new, nonclass member function that will display all the information about each object.
1. Circle objects should display radius, circumference, and area.
2. Rectangle objects should display dimensions, perimeter. and area.
The information-display function should accept as its calling parameter a pointer of the class Shape.
Run the test function to demonstrate static (early) binding using the derived class objects calling their member
functions, and run the test function to demonstrate dynamic (late)

Here is what i currently have any help would be appreciated

Explanation / Answer

Please Rate:Thanks Hope this will help in your project Introduction to Polymorphism Polymorphism is by far the most important and widely used concept in object oriented programming. Some of the widely used technologies and libraries like COM, MFC etc. have polymorphism as their foundation. If you look at all the original design patterns, almost every pattern uses polymorphism in its structure. Polymorphism is a mechanism that allows you to implement a function in different ways. Pointers to base class We have seen that it is possible to derive a class from a base class and that we can add functionality to member functions. One of the features of derived classes is that a pointer to a derived class is type-compatible with a pointer to its base class. Polymorphism takes advantage of this feature. Let’s take a look at an example of a base class and derived classes: #include using namespace std; class CPolygon { protected: int width, height; public: void setup (int first, int second) { width= first; height= second; } }; class CRectangle: public CPolygon { public: int area() { return (width * height); } }; class CTriangle: public CPolygon { public: int area() { return (width * height / 2); } }; int main () { CRectangle rectangle; CTriangle triangle; CPolygon * ptr_polygon1 = &rectangle; CPolygon * ptr_polygon2 = ? ptr_polygon1->setup(2,2); ptr_polygon2->setup(2,2); cout
