    Smile question about polymorphism

    I have a question about polymorphism and has been bugging me for ages. The question is

    How dose virtual functions,inheritance and base class pointers provide a mechanisim for polymorphic behaviour?

    Thanks
    not sure if this goes in here?

    Re: question about polymorphism

    That sounds like a homework question. I'm not sure why that would bug you for ages. There's no shortage of documentation on the web and in bookstores.

    Re: question about polymorphism

    The short version is that these mechanisms together allow a base class variable to be safely assigned any derived class object, each which can behave differently.
