Why are these considered abstract classes??

jokerfwb (53)
My complier is telling that these two derived classes are abstract, and for the life of me I can't see why.

Does ThreeDimensionalShape have some pure virtual functions that the derived classes has not defined?
hanst99 (2869)
The answer is yes. There really isn't any other explanation other than the compiler being buggy.

Here's my 3d class. As far as I can tell all the pure virtual functions are defined.

#include "Shape.h"

class ThreeDimensionalShape : public Shape
{
public:
    virtual double getArea() const = 0; //pure virtual function
    virtual double getVolume() const = 0; // pure virtual function
    virtual void print() const=0;
protected: 
    double volume;
};

Except for getArea.
jokerfwb (53)
Found it I had getSurfaceArea in my concrete 3d classes so there for getArea from my 3d class wasn't defined. Just wasn't registering on my brains when i read it.
