Question

This program should deal with polymorphism, virtual methods, and overloading. What the program does is not important, just that it has this functionality.

Turn in a C++ code file (.cpp) that will have the following functionality

In main, create an array that can hold both (or more)of your subclasses.

Populate the array with a minimum of two of each subclass.

Create a loop that will access each index of the array.

The loop will have a minimum of two method calls, using the current object that is in the array at the time. The first will be a method that implemented a virtual ABC method. The second will be the overloading method; so it will have the same name as the first, but will accept a different input type.

The different methods that the subclasses implement should have a clear form of output that distinguishes them from both the other subclasses andthe overloaded method.

Be explicit if you need to

public:

ColorBox colorBoxes[] = {redBox, blueBox, greenBox};

ColorBox cb = colorBoxes[i] + bigBox;
