Hi,
I'm having an issue trying to pass a vector to a function.
The function parameter is of vector<base_class>, then I'm actually passing vector<sub_class>, but it doesn't work.
Is it possibly to do this in C++?
Here's more specific code
ThanksCode:void drawRectangles(vector <Rectangle> v) { // do whatever in here } // some other place is calling vector <Building> buildings; // populate that drawRectangles(buildings); // Buildings looks like class Building : public Rectangle ....
Is drawRectangles a member function? Or a regular function defined outside the scope of a class?
If it is a member function it needs to be virtual and the parameter must be a reference or pointer to the base class. There is no dynamic binding happening if these two conditions aren't meet.
If the function is not a member function then you can only use the static type. This means that the argument you are using to pass to the function parameter must be of vector<Rectangle> type. Or... (and this is probably more correct) be of vector<Building> type and the parameter must be changed.

There is no relationship between a container of one class and a container of another, even if there is a relationship between the two contained classes. Sorry. Make drawRectangles take a container of Rectangle pointers that you fill with pointers to your Buildings.
Of course, having Building inherit from Rectangle is a design error in the first place.
All the buzzt!

I have several different objects (2 for now, but maybe more later), that are basically Rectangles but have certain differences (hence the subclasses). I don't really see how this is a design error, it's OOP, but I'm used to working in Java, haven't done much C++, although I think I may just make everything a rectangle and add the extra attributes as necessary, it may simpify things.Of course, having Building inherit from Rectangle is a design error in the first place.
Because a building isn't a rectangle. It is made of them so you would make rectangles a member variable of Building.
Woop?
Yippee! I am a rectangle! This forum is a rectangle! The world is a rectangle! Get your concepts straight.
Code:#include <stdio.h> void J(char*a){int f,i=0,c='1';for(;a[i]!='0';++i)if(i==81){ puts(a);return;}for(;c<='9';++c){for(f=0;f<9;++f)if(a[i-i%27+i%9 /3*3+f/3*9+f%3]==c||a[i%9+f*9]==c||a[i-i%9+f]==c)goto e;a[i]=c;J(a);a[i] ='0';e:;}}int main(int c,char**v){int t=0;if(c>1){for(;v[1][ t];++t);if(t==81){J(v[1]);return 0;}}puts("sudoku [0-9]{81}");return 1;}
