Need help in polymorphism .

[Kamprog]

My Teacher want me to Write MAX function in C++ that takes two integer parameters and returns the greater one. then by using polymorphism rewrite it again to take two character parameters and a third time that takes two float parameters. I know how to do the Max function part but i never took polymorphism before if anyone can write this program for me real quick i would really appreciate it .

This is not polymorphism. What you want is called Function Overloading. Polymorphism has to do with class inheritance hierarchies and virtual member functions and is-a relationships, etc.

Are you sure the teacher said polymorphism?

maybe he/she meant FUNCTION OVERLOADING (which is also known as STATIC POLYMORPHISM)

can you check??

[Kamprog]

sorry for the late response but I'm sure he said polymorphism maybe he is wrong because he is suppose to be a java teacher and programming teachers aren't that good in egypt anyways .

[Kamprog]

i think it's the static polymorphism i just checked the assignment again

In that case, all you have to do is make sure the functions have the same name and you should know the rest. Give it a try ;)

i never took C++ before i only studied C and Basic and now Java if u could type the program for me real fast i will appreciate it

Read http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/functions2/ , section "Overloaded functions". We don't write homeworks for others.

If you know C, the only thing you have to know about function overloading in C++ is that the functions have the same name and are differentiated by the number and/or types of the parameters they take.
