This is my code
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdio>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int professorCounter = 0;
int studentCounter = 0;
class Person{
public:
string name;
int age;
};
class Professor : public Person{
public:
int publications;
int cur_id;
Professor(){
professorCounter++;
this->cur_id = professorCounter;
}
void getdata(){
cin >> this->name >> this->age >> this->publications;
}
void putdata(){
cout << this->name << " " << this->age << " " << this->publications <<
endl;
}
};
class Student : public Person{
public:
int marks[6];
int cur_id;
Student(){
studentCounter++;
this->cur_id = studentCounter;
}
void getdata(){
cin >> this->name >> this->age;
for(int i=0; i<6; i++){
cin >> this->marks[i];
}
}
void putdata(){
cout << this->name << " " << this->age;
for(int i=0; i<6; i++){
cout << " " << this->marks[i];
}
}
};
int main(){
int n, val;
cin>>n; //The number of objects that is going to be created.
Person *per[n];
for(int i = 0;i < n;i++){
cin>>val;
if(val == 1){
// If val is 1 current object is of type Professor
per[i] = new Professor;
}
else per[i] = new Student; // Else the current object is of type Student
per[i]->getdata(); // Get the data from the user.
}
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
per[i]->putdata(); // Print the required output for each object.
return 0;
}
I have a pointer array of type Parent Class(Person) and each of it's pointer is pointing to the child class (Professor, Student) I want to access the child (i.e. student and Professor) using the pointer of Parent which is pointing to the child
i am this to setData
per[i]->getdata(); // Get the data from the user.
and this to print data
per[i]->putdata(); // Print the required output for each object.
But it shows error saying " ‘class Person’ has no member named ‘getdata’ " and " ‘class Person’ has no member named ‘putdata’ "
