Hi,
Im not sure its the right subject so... :)
Here is my problem, I got class Vehicle, class Taxi which is an extension of
Vehicle, and class Limo which is extension of Taxi. Each class has print method
which is an overrided cout<< method. Another method is getClassName which print
the name of each class. Each of these methods is totally different in each
class.
So the idea is to simulate a parking lot. I use vector to as the parking lot.
Each time a car parked, I pushed it to the vector. Since the vector can contain
all types of vehicle, I use vector<Vehicle*> parkingLot;
The problem is when I loop the vector and call the cout<< method it all
redirected to Vehicle's cout<<. The weird thing is it call the correct
getClassName Method. Here is the code:
for(int i = 0; i<parkingLot2.size(); i++)
{
//call the overrided cout<< method
cout<<*parkingLot2.at(i)<<endl;
//call a simple method
cout << parkingLot2.at(i)->getClassName() << endl;
}
I really hope you can get the idea. I want to make sure why I cant override the
cout<< method in 'child' class.
Thank you in advance.
