Re: inheritance / overriding question

#include <iostream>

class BaseClass {
    protected:
        int var;
    public:
        void setVar(int var){
            this->var = var;
            std::cout << "using BaseClass\n";
        }
        virtual void showVar() = 0;
};

class ClassA : public BaseClass {
    public:
        void setVar(int var){
            this->var = var;
            std::cout << "using ClassA\n";
        }
        void showVar(){
            std::cout << "using ClassA var is " << var;
        }
};

int main(){
    BaseClass* base;

    base = new ClassA;

    base->setVar(12);
    base->showVar();
}

why does base->setVar() call the function in the
BaseClass, not the one in ClassA?

Shouldn't ClassA override the BaseClass function?
