i have a class EscapeRoomWrapper now i made another two classes which are the "sons" of this class ScaryRoom and KidsRoom , which means ScaryRoom is a EscapeRoomWrapper and KidsRoom is a EscapeRoomWrapper , now for each one of those classes i wrote functions ..

i am working now from another class which is company , and in this class i added a set of all the rooms (EscapeRoomWrapper,ScaryRoom,KidsRoom) now i want to write a function in class company that i give it a type of room and it should returns for me all of the rooms from that type that exists in the victor of all rooms , then i thougt about using typeid but then the professer banned us from using it , my last idea is to use cast dynamic 
<pre>any ideas of how i can do this function ?? <pre>std::vector<EscapeRoomWrapper*>& getAllRoomsByType(RoomType type) const

.

What I have tried:

public:
// functions here
};

private:
int a
public:
// functions for y room
};

class : public {

Solution 1

If EscapeRoomWrapper has a RoomType member then it knows what type each derived object is and it can use that with dynamic_cast. If the called methods are the same for each derivation then you won't need to cast.
