Hi Suraj,

Thanks for the great inheritance tutorials. I have been able to get one project I am working on started with the info I have learned here. I was hoping you could answer one question.

I am trying to write code for a two player die game where the base class is a Die class and the derived class is a LoadedDie class.

Now, based on user input (each player can pick whether they want to play with a normal die or a loaded die) I have to create a Die object.

I am using a switch statement to handle the decision logic based on user preference, but is there a type of variable that can hold either a Die object or a LoadedDie object?

I want to have something like player1ChosenDie in my Game class. And want to return a Die or a LoadedDie object from a method to a member variable.

I hope I was able to explain myself and wondering if you have any suggestions for this situation.. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this!

Was kinda confused with inheritance and c++ but it turns out it was not that much different from java lol.

Hey Suraj, why your getters return reference? Because you return with “*this” ?
