Hello everyone and thanks for reading, I'm new to working with classes and I've ran into an issues with making array's of objects, I have a base class, and an array of the same type, I'd like to know if it's a possibility to make subclasses of the base class type and put them into an array and call methods that're not in the base class, sorry if this is a bad question and my apologies if my wording is off,
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
BaseClass* ObjectList[10];
ObjectList[0] = new SubClass;
ObjectList[0]->Load(10);
ObjectList[0]->OtherFunction(); // How Can I Do This?
return 0;
}
class BaseClass
{
public:
virtual void Load(int Num) = 0;
};
class SubClass : public BaseClass
{
void Load(int Num) override
{
std::cout << Num << std::flush;
}
void OtherFunction()
{
// Do Something
}
};
Thanks
Edit - My intent is to have a simple base class with dozens and dozens of subclasses with different methods, and have an array of the base class,
You can always have more than one pointer (or reference) to the same object.
int main()
{
BaseClass* ObjectList[10];
SubClass TheSubclass;
ObjectList[0] = &TheSubclass;
ObjectList[0]->Load(10); // presumably in a loop
TheSubclass.OtherFunction();
return 0;
}
