Thread: dynamic_cast help

Forgot to enable RTTI. Thanks...

Why don't you just scan the page from your homework book and we can see the whole thing and maybe do the next question for you, too.

dynamic_cast is used as follows:

Code:

class base
{
};

class derived : public base
{
};

void func(base& b)
{
    derived* pd = dynamic_cast<derived*>(&b);
    if (pd)
   {
       cout << "it's a derived class!";
   }
}

generally, dynamic_cast should be avoided. there are almost always better ways of doing the same thing (virtual functions, etc)
