Thread: deleting dynamic object problem

You do

Code:

sensors[num]->PrintInformation();

// Implementation
void Derived::PrintInformation() {
   cout << "Air temperature: " << GetAirTemp() << endl;
   cout << "Wind speed: " << GetWindSpeed() << endl;
   cout << "Wind direction: " << GetWindDir() << endl;
   cout << "Sea temperature: " << GetSunInt() << endl; 
   cout << "Longitude " << GetLong() << endl;
   cout << "Latitude " << GetLat() << endl;
}

After all, that's what object orientation is about.

Code:

sensors[num]->PrintInformation();

// Implementation

void Base::PrintInformation() {
   cout << "Air temperature: " << GetAirTemp() << endl;
   cout << "Wind speed: " << GetWindSpeed() << endl;
   cout << "Wind direction: " << GetWindDir() << endl;
}

void Derived1::PrintInformation() {
   Base::PrintInformation();
   cout << "Sea temperature: " << GetSunInt() << endl; 
}

void Derived2::PrintInformation() {
   Base::PrintInformation();
   cout << "Oxygen content: " << GetOxyContent() << endl;
}

That should work too

thank you to everyone who helped me on this. I've now got it working and learnt a lot in the process.
