关于多态代码和运行结果

#include <iostream> #pragma hdrstop using  std::cout; using  std::endl; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #pragma argsused //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- class  Base { public :      Base() { };      virtual  void  DisplayMessage() {          cout << "Displaying Message from an object of Base class"  << endl;      }; }; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- class  DerivedFirst : public  Base { public :      DerivedFirst() { };      void  DisplayMessage() {          cout << "Displaying Message from an object of DerivedFirst class"  << endl;      } }; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- class  DerivedSecond : public  Base { public :      DerivedSecond() { };      void  DisplayMessage() {          cout << "Displaying Message from an object of DerivedSecond class"  << endl;      } }; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- class  DerivedThird : public  Base { public :      DerivedThird() { }; }; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- int  main() {      // create a base class object      Base* bc = new  Base();      bc->DisplayMessage();      // delete the base class object and assign it to DerivedFirst object      delete  bc;      bc = new  DerivedFirst();      bc->DisplayMessage();      // delete the base class object and assign it to DerivedSecond object      delete  bc;      bc = new  DerivedSecond();      bc->DisplayMessage();      // delete the base class object and assign it to DerivedThird object      delete  bc;      bc = new  DerivedThird();      bc->DisplayMessage();      delete  bc;      return  EXIT_SUCCESS; } //---------------------------------------------------------------------------

虚函数主要作用：用基类声明的指针（Base* bc），指向派生类，如果派生类中有与基类中相同的方面就调用子类的方法，如果子类没有该方面，就调用基类自身的方法。
基类中如果不加virtual 关键字，用用基类声明的指针，调用函数时只能调用基类自身的函数。
