C++ Polymorphism explanation questionable

[JBR 0]

Hi,

I've been teaching C++ and OO for 20 years and stumbled over this:

https://www.w3schools.com/cpp/cpp_polymorphism.asp

Where is the polymorphism?

My second line is a polymorphic call.

Animal *pAnimal = new Pig();

pAnimal->animalSound();

IMO your code is misleading and not useful.

Please contact me to discuss.

I'm not certain how frequently the staff visits the forum, but I'd say less than once a year. If you find an error on any page you can click the "REPORT ERROR" button at the bottom of that page to send a notice to the site owners.

So that would be never! Or if they have their own mini me devs possibly they would call that a half.
