Reply:You have read the documentation of C++.
Reply:Sorry, there's no such thing in C++. You have to do this manually, i.e. change the code in every class:





virtual void printObjectname() { cout "A"; }





or even better:


virtual const char *getClassname() { return "A"; }





make the function virtual, then it can be overwritten in inherited classes.
