<C++> I have question about virtual functions.

<C++> I have question about virtual functions.

24 Jul 2018 by Gerry Schmitz

Virtual methods are used "as is"; or you "override" them; you have done neither; you have simply created a "replacement" virtual method in each class. Trying to "down cast" in this situation makes no sense.

<C++> I have question about virtual functions.

24 Jul 2018 by CPallini

That's the very purpose of the virtual functions: to allow polymorphism. Consider, for instance the following code void draw_shapes( Shape * sh[], size_t count) { for ( size_t n = 0; n draw_myself(); } every item of the array (every Shape) will draw itself depending...

Try moving this line:int Test::count = 0;from the .h file to the .cpp file.The problem is that each time you include "Test.h" the count variable gets defined - hence multiple definitions. Moving the line to the .cpp file ensures that there is only one definition of count.
