Here’s an example of the situation:
CAnimal *poTest = new CDog();
When I write “poTest->” All I can see are functions from the base class (in example: CAnimal) and not the ones in the derived one. How can I access these?
You’ve declared poTest as a CAnimal.
So it makes sense that you’ll only see what a CAnimal can see.
If you want to use methods that a CDog uses, declare it so.
