SET-252 C Programming #2

Homework: 4 Polymorphism

Step 1 Parent Class

Create a CAnimal class.

Add the following protected properties: m_strName, m_strType

Add the following public methods: Get/Set Name, Get/Set Type, virtual MakeNoise.

Step 2 Child Classes

Create three or more child classes based on the CAnimal class (e.g. CDog, CCow, CDragon).

Each child class must re-define the MakeNoise method.

Each child class must have at least one unique property (e.g. Breed, Color, AmountOfGold).

Each child class must have at least one unique method (e.g. Fetch, Graze, BreathFire).

Create at least one instance for each child class and call the set methods in each one to populate/initialize them.

Step 3 Polymorphism Part 1

Create an array of CAnimal* called paclsZoo of at least size 5.

Populate the zoo with pointers to the child class instances created in the previous step. Youll need to explicit cast the pointers/addresses.

Set at least one cell in the array to 0/null.

Step 4 Polymorphism Part 2

Write a FOR loop that will loop through the zoo and for each non-null cell print the animal name, type and call the MakeNoise method. Make sure that the correct child-specific information is displayed.

Step 5 Polymorphism Part 3

Write a FOR loop that will loop through the zoo and for each non-null cell explicitly cast the pointer into the child class specific type and call the unique child class method. Youll need to string compare the animal type in order to make the correct cast.
