Inheritance with pointers:Overloading?

[Katie]

my one base class is a linklist class.now i'd like to inherit it by
another class.The problem is that when i use the derived class i can't
access the base class's pointers.classic type mismatch.how do i link
the derived class if i can't compare the derived class's pointers to
the linklist class's pointers?
do i do it with overloading?i tried that,but could get it to work.my
handbooks (all 4 of them) has no example on how to do overloading.can
someone help?e-mail if you want to.please, i'm on a deadline!!!

You have defined a class called "linklist". OK.

another class.
You want to define another class, derived from "linklist". OK.
The problem is that when i use the derived class i can't
access the base class's pointers.
Now you've lost me. Why not? What pointers? How do you "use"
the derived class?
classic type mismatch.
What?
how do i link the derived class if i can't compare the derived
class's pointers to the linklist class's pointers?
What does it mean to "link" a class?

You _can_ compare a base class pointer and a derived class pointer
for equality. Did you use two equals signs, like `=='?
do i do it with overloading?
I shouldn't think so. Without knowing more about the
problem it's impossible to say for sure.
i tried that,but could get it to work.
Right.
my handbooks (all 4 of them) has no example on how to do overloading.
Borrow or buy a better book. There are reviews on the ACCU site.
More recent reviews are more useful because the way people use C++
has evolved. "The C++ Programming Language", 3rd/Special edition,
by Bjarne Stroustrup, covers the whole language nicely. I don't know
that it's very suitable for a beginner.
can someone help?
I tried, really. I don't understand what you are trying to do.
Can you show us the program you are trying to compile?
e-mail if you want to.
Post here, read here.
please, i'm on a deadline!!!

Good luck with that.
