I am new to c++ and i have a question.

Lets say we have a base class Base and two derived classes, Derived1 and Derived2.
f.e. Derived1 has a constructor taking a integer and Derived2 a constructor taking a boolean.

Is it possible to determine at run time (or at compile time) which of those two subclasses to create and assign it to the Base class.

Something like this:
Base b = ???(value), where value is of type integer or boolean.

Thanks in advance!
