What if you want to call the overridden function by using the object of child class. You can do that by creating the child class object in such a way that the reference of parent class points to it. Lets take an example to understand it. #include <iostream> using namespace std; class BaseClass { public: void disp(){ cout<<"Function of Parent Class"; } }; class DerivedClass: public BaseClass{ public: void disp() { cout<<"Function of Child Class"; } }; int main() { /* Reference of base class pointing to the object of child class. */ BaseClass obj = DerivedClass(); obj.disp(); return 0; }
